  Sure, I have used a Telewave ... but only when one of my Bird 
 Model 43 Wattmeters wasn't convenient. 

  My preference?  Bird Model 43 anytime.  

  Neil - WA6KLA 

  BTW, I have several of them too.

Birds and the Telewaves are not SWR bridges, they're directional
wattmeters.

With that said, I'm not fan of the Telewaves.  I have two of the
44A's, but 
I rarely use them.  The switch is a little flakey on one of the ones
I have, 
even though it's only maybe 5 years old.  The other one is a little
older, 
and it has someting intermittant internally that results in it giving

different readings on sucessive key-ups.

I have several different flavors of Birds including 43's, 43P's, the
digital 
4391A, etc.  Without fail, I always find myself grabbing one of the
43's 
(call me a stubborn OF, but they just work).

The digital 4391 is nice, but as you might imagine, the battery is
always 
dead at the most inopportune time.  I have a Bird 4410 at one of my
clients' 
locations, and like it for what little time I've used it.

I have Coaxial Dynamics wattmeters of various types at broadcast
sites, but 
generally speaking, if I'm the one doing the buying, I buy Bird.

Same here..  Some look as though they have been dragged down the highway
from banging around in my truck for many years.  But they are just as
accurate as the newer ones that haven't a scratch.
Anytime I find one for under a hundred bucks...  I latch onto it.
