[Amps] Autek WM-1 calibrated....

Try switching the PEP and the power range switches through a few cycles; a tiny bit of contact oxidation makes the WM-1 really act up and read erroneously, but just operating the switches through a few cycles usually fixes that.

Hi all I'm having an issue and I think that it's the wall wort.  The meter tested fine at low power on the test bench.....300 watts.  When I put it in line on the station with an excellent station ground(ex combat comm) the meter reads some 400 watts higher PEP than the Alphas internal LED's read.
I'm thinking RF is being picked up on the power cord from the wort to the meter.
any other ideas?
