is there another kind of meter out there other then the astitc, dosy, or bird meters that are reasonably priced and accurate?

i would like it to do from 0-500 watts rms and swr, modulation would be nice but i won't cry if it doesn't have that.

i just like to be different.
 

Sure are.
Palstar WM-150 (if you can find 1 grab it) Palstar 2000a,
If you are into kits then the tentec1225 kit. I have 1 and it reads the same as a bird.
 
If you can find one, a TRANSEL MARK IIA (made in the late 70s) is a good choice. Accurate, large meter face,3 power levels, SWR, headphone jack and volume control for AM. Sending unit can be removed for remote mounting. Old, but a solid meter. Just another option.

Sorry, just could not resist.
But seriously now just get a good hf meter. I've had two palstar's (wm-150, 2000a) and have the tentec 1225. All thre requires 12vdc to work as they are true pep reading meters. All rank up there in my books.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
