[Test-Equipment] Bird 43 wattmeter slugs

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

RCA used 75 Ohm feedline for their UHF TV transmitters, at least up to the 
visual combiner. 2500 Watts would be for the an aural tube or for a Low 
Power UHF transmitter. What frequency range is the slug?

Before I could get to it, the last TV station that I worked for threw out 
all the monitoring stuff when they decommissioned the transmitter. I did 
not make that mistake twice. I decommissioned a channel 4 TV transmitter 
and kept everything that was not sold for scrap. There was a lot of copper 
in the combiner!!.
