[ETO_Alpha] Alpha 99 Meter Accuracy?

Mon, 11 Mar 2002 23:42:37 -0500

Would have to agree that the accuracy  is very close...I have one of the 
first 91b ...and it puts out 1500watts with 45 watts in...the Bird 
43...with the 2500 slug...first red led matched the 1500 on the 
Bird...my Nye Viking  V-A...read low...took two to three red leds to get 
to 1500....so much for the Nye ...btw...the Bird read the same with the 
5000 slug as well...
                        73...Dennis ....W4ZG...Clearwater,Fl
