[VHFcontesting] Harris 222 mhz amplifier question

[mikflathead at aol.com]

I am working on a Harris 222 amplifier I have had for years. It was marked as a driver amp. 2 pallets are left in the assembly. My question is without having a filter on the output will the power on a Bird wattmeter be accurate? This is showing more power than it should be. This is using a ht to drive the amp. 2 slugs with similar readings. I see W6PQL sells output filters. Mike
