Lou , just checked again on the HF bands
80m LPA=1495 and KPA=1501
40m LPA=1476 and KPA=1421
6m LPA=1512 and KPA=1325
This is not concerning to me at all . My curiosity and a cold rainy told
me to see how others compared . I suspect this is the case with any two
watt meters . I know it's adjustable in the KPA 1500 but I'll not bother
. Thanks everyone for ur reply .

The KPA1500 is new to me and very happy with my purchase . I'm using the
LP-100A watt meter and comparing it with the KPA-1500 they both read
close enough 10 to 160 . On 6m I'm seeing a bigger spread with the
LP-100A reading 1500w the KPA-1500 is showing 1375w . If you look at
this in DB , it's nothing. I know the LP-100A is very accurate and the
only way to know for sure is to have Larry at Telepost test it. Most
likely wont do wont do that. Are their others that see a difference on 6m
?
Thanks Ed N5DG
I have the same setup Ed (KPA1500/LPA-100A). I've always seen a difference,
and never really paid much attention to it. When I read your email I ran
some very quick and dirty tests, here's what I'm seeing:
80M: LPA -- 1322, KPA1500 -- 1513
40M: LPA -- 1325, KPA1500 -- 1504
6M: LPA -- 1345, KPA1500 -- 1550
Pretty consistent with your 6M readings. Are you seeing much closer numbers
than mine?
