If you are going to look for an older peak wattmeter on the used market make
sure you check out the LDG DWM-4 Digital Watt Meter. It will display peak,
average, power and SWR for up to 4 (count them) different pickups, and cover
from 160 to 440. It will also do high power or low.
LDG stopped building them about a year too early, before the digital
wattmeter began to achieve its popularity. I'm surprised that it was never
put back into production. I use it exclusively when running my linear and
checking the ATU on my open wire fed dipole. It was much less expensive
than a Bird and its ilk.
Good luck on your new setup.. Glad I no longer operate in NYC.
