[TowerTalk] Wattmeters and 75 ohm Coax

[Robert Shohet]

Hi Guys,

 I was wondering if anyone out there knows if the Bird 43 wattmeter and
Coaxial Dynamics peak reading wattmeter work with 75 ohm coax or just 50
ohm?

If they don't work properly with 75 ohm coax, is there anyway to "offset"
the mismatch to get more accurate readings?

Are there any wattmeters that can work properly with both 50 & 75 ohm coax?

Thanks for your help.
