accuracy of HM-2140 watt meter

[Bob And Bettina Groh]

I guess my take would be that the HM-2140 is good but probably not as
accurate, in general, as a Bird wattmeter.  The Heath RF sensor is, I
believe, built by the kit builder and I strongly suspect that there are
large variances there.  On the other hand, most of us can't afford a
Bird or the slugs.  Plus the HM-2140 as wide or wider frequency range,
multiple power levels, etc.  So what if you give up a little accuracy!
If any.

Just my thoughts.
