What's a good meter to have that measures PEP output? I have my Bird 43, but it doesn't have a peak kit in it, so it only measures average.
I also have one of those "feel good" meters (Dosy) that is calibrated on AM (calibrated to deadkey wattage).
With just the radio, both the Dosy and my Bird meter read almost exactly on the money to each other, but when I switch the amp on, the Bird meter reads 300W on SSB, and the Dosy reads 500W.
Sooo... hence the question for a good, accurate PEP meter. I hear the Daiwa CN-801HP meters are pretty good, is that something I should buy? Is there another meter that does well? Any info would be most appreciated. Thanks!
