knowing the DC voltage output from the RF body."
DC load is the microammeter itself. My instruction book for the Model 43
gives the replacement meter part no. as: 2080-002. I don`t find the
meter`s sensitivity or resistance. These might be determined from a good
meter. The meter is calibrated in watts so the scale is not a straight
line function of volts or amps. Meter characteristics for your
particular model? Bird may be willing to tell you. They have a number of
application notes and data sheets available for the asking. Their
address is given as:
Bird Electronic Corporation
30303 Aurora Road
Cleveland (Solon) Ohio 44139-2794
