Bird accuracy is +/-5% of full scale (25W for your slug) or +/- 1.25 Watts, so the above is within spec. If you want better accuracy, consider the LP-100A which is +/- 5% of reading. At 12 Watts, this would be +/- 0.6 Watts or twice as good as a Bird...and probably cheaper as well considering the cost of a comparable set of slugs. http://www.telepostinc.com/lp100.html 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-RF-Calibration-RF-output-tp7367721p7368184.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
