The Elecraft Mini-Module DL1 Dummy Load has test points that allow you to use a DMM to measure out put. I can't imagine anything in that price range being more accurate 73, KI4DGH Chuck Gehring

Hello List, I've posted my question on QRP-L and here as well- since I will be building a KX-1. I am looking for good ways to measure power output from my KX-1 while I am building it. What first came to mind was to set up my Tek 492 analyzer on a 2 dB scale and then use a 30 or 40 watt (high power) attenuator to measure CW power. I have several Bird 43's but have never seen Bird slugs for QRP LF, MF or HF. I think a competing company may have a through wattmeter with HF but I forget the lowest scale of that one. I have read the E-Ham reviews for the Oak Hills QRP wattmeter- 300 Khz to 54 MHz and 100mW, 1W and 10W scales- still thinking over the reviews. Comments on the accuracy of using the Tek 492 method, and on other accurate wattmeter options? 73 Jay W6CJ AAR9QM _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
