reading a bird 43 meter

[Number15]

Can someone help me? how do u read a bird meter i have a 5000 k slug what scale do i use?

Use the middle scale that goes to 50.Multiply the meter reading by 100 when using the 5K slug. Bird slugs come in common multiplies of 1,2.5,and 5.Just use the appropriate scale and multiply according. A 250 watt slug would use the 25 scale and multiply by 10. A 25K slug would use the same scale but multiply by 1000.You get the picture.

Easy to see how it could be a mistake. Someone who has never used a bird before probably isn't expecting their 4 pill to only do 400 watts. So they are thinking they are on the wrong scale.

More and more, it seems that folks are doing things exactly backwards. Buy it first, and then figure out what it is and how to use it.

Isn't that what boat anchors at hamfests are all about?

Well reviews all over the net say bird meters are not #1 there #2
compared to Coaxial Dynamics which is the best
3% off is a lot better then 5% off

Manufature's claims and acutal performance after years in the field, are a horse of a different color. I'll stick with my 20 year old Bird, thanks.
