Autek WM1 is pretty good meter IMO, IS it accurate? Varies from band to band, but then again the output of my amp varies from band to band.

SO before the debate starts on ACCURATE meters lets keep this in perspective.

If you want ACCURATE purchase and O scope, don't get much better than that for accurate.

For relative measurements, the autek is right up there with the industry standard BIRD meter but the AUTEK will not give you BIRD watts.

It is a decent meter and is only on used market as the gentleman retired from making any autek products, I have had four of the WM1 and they all read about the same, decent movements and fairly accurate, but it is NOT a calibration standard type meter.

I prefer the autek meter style as there is two separate meters and easier for my eyes to see the movements compared to cross needle movements,

[QUOTE="wavrider, post: 559803, member: 9893"] Autek WM1 is pretty good meter IMO, IS it accurate? Varies from band to band, but then again the output of my amp varies from band to band. SO before the debate starts on ACCURATE meters lets keep this in perspective. If you want ACCURATE purchase and O scope, don't get much better than that for accurate. For relative measurements, the autek is right up there with the industry standard BIRD meter but the AUTEK will not give you BIRD watts:sneaky:(n)(y). It is a decent meter and is only on used market as the gentleman retired from making any autek products, I have had four of the WM1 and they all read about the same, decent movements and fairly accurate, but it is NOT a calibration standard type meter. I prefer the autek meter style as there is two separate meters and easier for my eyes to see the movements compared to cross needle movements, [/QUOTE]
