Measure Rig Power at Spring Lunch?
Sure would like to measure the output power (+-10%) of my PFR-3A and Weber Dual Bander at the lunch meeting this April. Anyone up to bringing an rf power meter (with 5W dummy load)?

Rig Measurements at meeting
Peter, I'll bring my N8LP LP-200 Power meter/dummy load. It is very accurate. Just bring your own power source and key. With most QRP rigs, the output power is greatly dependant on the supply voltage. There are large differences in output power running from, say a 3 cell LiPo pack (11.1-12v) vs 13.8v from a bench supply. So, we can give you the most accurate measurements if you power the rig the same way you intend to use it.
