It measures very close here as well. Even though the power calibrations had been done previously (this was the factory built s/n 622), I did need to do the wattmeter and power level calibrations again at both 5 and 50 watts before the AM carrier power was within the 22-25 watt range across the spectrum. Without the recalibration I saw 30 watts on 160, 25 on 20 and 45 on 10 meters.
