Re: [Repeater-Builder] What Can Go Wrong With A Bird 43?

[Dave Baughn]

Check the connections on the back of the meter. I have seen these get oxidized and quit working. If the wires have crimped spade lugs, solder them. Good luck.   Dave Baughn Director of Engineering The University of Alabama Center for Public Television and Radio  WVUA/WUOA-TV & WUAL/ WQPR/ WAPR FM Box 870150 195 Reese Phifer Hall, 901 University Blvd. Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487 205.348.8622 cell 205.310.8798 NEW EMAIL [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> "dadavies3" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/31/06 6:41 PM >>> I use my Bird 43 wattmeter frequently and, until today, it has worked perfectly. Now, for some reason, there is no meter indication when transmitting through it to either an antenna or dummy load. I used different slugs, all with the same result. I tested the slugs in another Bird and they worked fine. What goes wrong with these meters? Is it a repair a can make myself or is it best to send it back to the manufacturer? Doug VE7DRF
