[Amps] RMS VS Peak VS Average power and the Bird 43 wattmeter

[Will Matney]

Better yet, drill a 1/4" hole and mount a mini phono jack. Buy a surplus wall supply and use it on the bench and change to batteries for mobile use. You can get a wall supply for around $5 that will do it. The jack's about $1, so not much to do it.

Best,

Will
