Anyone know why I get more power coming out of my 148 gtl than my cobra 2000gtl on my bird meter I’m using same slug for both units, does the bird meter read basestation units
 

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.
