Another ham friend and me both have 100 w slugs for 100-250 Mhz. (100c).
Both are bad. Tests were made on three different Bird meters and a 3rd
slug known to be good.

On all 3 meters inputting 100 w, the good slug showed 100 watts while
the two bad ones showed 70 w and 60 w respectively. Pretty high odds
that we both would have faulty slugs eh?

So the questions a what happened to make them go bad, and can they
be reasonably repaired by the Bird Corporation? Although we will
be calling Bird personnel next week I thought I would throw out the
question here.

Last but not least, any good 100w 100-250 Mhz slugs out there for sale?

You did test them into a good dummy load ? Anyway if you peel back the
label there is an adjusting screw. YOu may be able to adjust that to match
the known good slug. That adjustment is a small pot.
