Does not look easy. Try doing a comparison between in and out of band
elements. From what I have been able to see from the outside, is the actual
coupler is frequency dependant, and there are likely to be calibration
resistors that are power dependant. I have found that in adjacent bands,
they are still close. List what you have, maybe someone may want to
swap.--Mike, WV2ZOW

Subject: [ForSale-Swap] Modifying Bird wattmeter elements.

Does anyone know if its possible or has ever been attempted to open up a
Bird watt meter element with an eye to replacing a diode or modifying to
a different frequency band?

I have a pair of elements that are on rather esoteric bands and of
little use to a Ham and am wondering if they could be modified to be useful.
