[Amps] Bird 43 slugs

[Robert Groh]

Will it damage the slug or the meter?  No

Will the readings be anywhere close to accurate?  Probably not (depending on 
your definition of accurate!).  The regular accuracy is +/- 5%.  I just don't 
know but maybe the response would be withing 20%.  


I would send an email to Bird (do a search for their web site) and ask them. I 
had a question about the peak power limitations of one of their dummy loads and 
they responded in a week or so.

What will happen if you use the wrong frequency range slug in a bird 43 meter?   
Specifically, I have a legal limit 2m Amplifier and I have a 2500D slug (200-500 
MHz @ 2.5KW).  If I use this slug to measure 144 MHz, will it damage the slug or 
meter?  Will the readings be anywhere close to accurate?

Thanks,
Paul, kg7hf
