[1000mp] Mark V power on 10 meters

Fri, 8 Mar 2002 06:35:15 -0500

I forgot to mention that there is a constant 25 or so watt difference at any
power level using a Bird 43....at 100w on the radio the Bird reads 125w,
etc. Probably no big deal, but I thought it was odd that ten meters was the
only band that was significantly different.

What type of external meter are you using for a reference and what
is the tolerance of that meter?

Maybe the FT1000MKV meter is right, and your reference meter is
wrong. Probably it is a bit of both.

10% error isn't much when measuring RF power!!
