I stopped by to see them at their booth at a large hamfest to discuss
a problem I was having with their 300 watt amp for two meters. In
spite of careful tweaking and adequate drive and power supply, I
could only get 240 watts output, as measured on my Bird wattmeter, I
asked the MFJ "engineer" on duty if that was within normal tolerances
for manufacturing for this amp. His reply was, "You can't trust
those Bird wattmeters." I Quickly thanked him for his time and left.
I could see no reason to waste any more of my time.
Actually, I think the Bird's accuracy is specified as 5% of full scale.
So if you were using a 1KW slug in the bird, it could have been off by
as much as 50 watts, brand new.
