Don, Just buy a Bird 5C element, which covers 100 to 250 MHz. It's not worth the expense and restricted bandwidth to buy a special element that has limited usefulness. After all, when you are tuning an exciter, it's usually tuning for a maximum reading which need not be particularly accurate. You might try contacting Bird tech support to get info on the accuracy degradation for out-of-band signals.

As everyone knows, elements are expensive and I would like to use it to tune up some MURS Low Power 2 Watt radios 151.-155 Also some 220 Exciters . Also I recall seeing yrs ago a Bird Low Power Wattmeter but I don't recall the Model number to look it up. Thanks Don KA9QJG Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
