[ETO_Alpha] Alpha 99 Meter Accuracy?

Mon, 11 Mar 2002 13:26:19 -0500

Hi Barry, et. al.,
    I have an Alpha 91B and I think the meter is within a few percent of a
Bird and a Diawa CN-720B.  I assume the '99 is about the same.  For example,
the bar graph LEDs may read 1500 watts and the Bird may read 1400 and the
Daiwa may also read 1400 or 1450 output.  These measurements were made on
160 and 80 and 40 meter CW bands, key down for at least a minute when
testing a Battle Creek Special rebuild before sending it to a DXpedition.
This has been repeated every year or so at my QTH
