Thanks Tom, when I said "linear power scale", I meant
e.g. a meter reading where 2000 watts is full scale
and 1000 watts is half scale. I have seen such meters
but not without a digital or analog computer on the
front end.

Just jumping in the middle of ths, but look at this watt meter.

It has a linear scale. I have one and it has a linear scale. Sort of made
like a Bird meter but much larger elements. It is just a diode and meter.
There is no power needed to run the meter except the sampled power comming
off the transmission line.

There were several versions made. One has a SWR scale on it. I am not sure
how the swr scale is but the wattmeter scale is linear instead of the log
looking scale of the Bird and most other meters.
