accuracy of HM-2140 watt meter

[Floyd Sense]

As a matter of fact, I have, and I use the HM-2140 as my primary station
wattmeter.  I calibrated the HM-2140 using the Bird 43, so no surprise that
it would agree.  What's unique is that the HM-2140 tracks accurately with
the Bird over the 160 to 10 meter range.  The peak reading function also
tracks very well with the Bird that has the factory peak reading feature.  I
checked the calibration at the 1500 W output level as well as the 100 watt
output level.  My other wattmeters are lucky to be within 20% of the Bird
across the bands.
