save and buy a bird,,if your going to stay in cb or ham,,,,save and get you one,,,,,,there the best for what your go to do,,,,,people do not like the bird because it tells the truth,,,all of the cb and amp builders will not use them,,,because they do not lie,,,,turn the slug and see the reflect in there stuff,,,,,most of the amp builder will put a swing kit on there bird,,,do not be fooled,,,,,,,if there a switch on the side of there bird ,,,theres a battery in side,,,,,,,,plus you can take a slug and pull the top off it theres a screw that you can turn the slug up or down,,,,,,,,,,i build amp and no all most 75 percent that do ,,,do not get robbbed

Using a true Bird meter takes alot of patience. Wait around until a bird lands on your antenna, key up and then go out and pick up the bird and see how far it's cooked. Rare= not much power, Well done=high power, Burnt= Now your SMOKIN ! And just where did you think the phrase DEAD KEY came from?<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

I have two R.L. Drake W4 watt meters that are pretty accurate also......they don't "exagerate" like the dosy meters do......NB

I know I'm getting old and forget alot of stuff, but are my math skills slipping?



>If you have a 2500 watt slug, and are reading 1500 watts forward power into a pure 50 ohm load, the actual forward power is anywhere from 1625 watts to 1375



Wouldn't that be 1425-1575?



>If the a Bird 43 indicates 150 watts reflected power with a 2500 watt slug, the actual reflected power can range from 25 to 275 watts.



And wouldn't that be 142.5-157?



If i'm missing something tell me!

By all means Audio, I agree. I love those Cherokee meters for the $, but you can't get them anymore new. No need for a bird until you're running over 1kw rms anyway. If you are though, Bird is the standard.
