Bird meter

Your Bird doesn't care WHAT is producing the RF being measured. As long as the slugs are for the proper frequency range and power level (and everything, including the slugs, is calibrated), the Bird will speak the truth, within ±5% or so.

The meter can't tell the difference between a base, mobile or handheld....all it knows is it's getting a power input and then it displays said input on the meter. Your 148 is simply putting out more power than the 2000, nothing more nothing less.
Check the voltage on the power supply rails. The 2000 might not be as high as the 148
