Re: [Elecraft] DMM recommendations

You can always use an A range Bird slug (25 to 60 MHz) on the upper end of the HF spectrum. It'll be accurate on 10 & 12 M and probably not too far off a little lower, but certainly not on 80 or 40 M. Low power 5W & 10W A slugs are available. 73 Charlie k3ICH

Re: [Elecraft] DMM recommendations

When taking reflected power readings the slug should be 1/10 of the forward slug value when testing a reasonably good antenna. So, a 100 watt forward slug would require a 10 watt reverse slug for reasonable accuracy. Unfortunately, the smallest HF slug Bird make is 25 Watts. That means any

I spoke to someone at Bird (when they were really Bird) years ago and I was told that the Bird wattmeter is accurate to ±5% of top scale.  This means that a 100 watt slug can be off ±5 watts _anywhere_ on the meter.  So, a transmitter emitting 50 watts out, using the Bird and a 100 watt slug,
