mine maxes out at 0.5mw on 500kHz, as claimed, on an HP power meter/head
rated down to 100kHz

What Bird slug are you using? Remember that a calibrated BIRD is only
guarenteed to be +-5% for a full scale reading. If you are less than
full-scale, the accuracy can be much less. As

This question is really a spin-off from the "Power Control at 50-MHz".
I measured CW output with PWR set to max on the HF bands with my
Bird-43 power meter into a dummy load. I found that a setting of 12w
actually netted near 16w output 160-20m, but dropped to 8w on 10 &
6m. I didn't do a pow
