[ARC5] [MMRCG] Silly Inaccurate Wattmeters and a Tool to Fix Them.

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

A lot depends on the exact device, but yes, there likely is truth
to this. The coupling on most SWR meters varies with frequency.
The simple / cheap approach for CB would be to ignore the issue
and just calibrate it at one frequency.
