Wow! I never knew the bird was a DMM! <chuckle>

You can put down the Bird43 all you want, but check nearly every 
professional radio shop and every prof tech's tool bag and likely you 
will find a Bird.  They work well and are quite durable riding in 
pickups, helicopters, boats, snowcats, etc.

I bought my first one in 1976 (and still using it).  Now own 
three.  Definitely more accurate RF power meters but the Bird survives.

Professionals have 1/2 wavelength test cables to ensure accurate 
Reflected measurements in the field.
