Consider the 5/5 eHam reviews here: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/361 Features Shock Mounted "Taut Band" Meter 4-1/2" Mirrored Scale Quick Match Connectors Internal 7/8" Line Section Uses Standard CDI elements and BIRD elements also Description When you need Peak power measuring capability in the 2 to 2300 MHz frequency range and from 100 mW to 10 kW, then you need to get your hands on the Model 83000-A RF Peak Reading Wattmeter, only from Coaxial Dynamics.Similar in appearance and operation to the standard Model 81000A Wattmeter, the Model 83000-A converts from Average Reading to Peak Reading, with the flip of a switch, by inserting a peak reading amplifier between the element and the meter.Complete with a built-in line section, the Quick Match RF connectors for 50-Ohm cables and transmission lines offer the speed and reliability you expect from Coaxial Dynamics.The Model 83000-A is designed to measure RF power in amplitude modulated systems such as television, telemetry, radar and peak envelope power (PEP) such as SSB and AM signals. The plug-in elements available for the 83000-A are inter-changeable with those for the Model 81000-A and Bird meter. Furthermore, peak only (high power) elements are also available. To compliment each application and specific requirement, elements are selected separately. Special elements for high power or extended frequency ranges are available from CDI.Self-contained and requiring no line power in either Peak or Average mode, the Model 83000-A is the right choice for portability and functionality. With peak reading circuitry that operates on one 9 volt replaceable alkaline transistor battery (not supplied), normal, portable usage is possible for at least 90 days or the life of the battery. An optional, rechargeable battery is also available from CDI.The use of a rugged shock mounted meter with a mirror-backed scale along with superior taut band technology, provides reliable and accurate readings, and also satisfies both the US Navy and Canadian standards for bounce and vibration. This is your assurance of complete accuracy.
