I have a schematic of a device I built for testing and servicing. While mine
isn't designed to read in watts or milliwatts, it does detect the smallest
amount of RF . There is a pot on it to adjust sensitivity. I'm sure it could
be adapted somehow for your needs. Knowing my repairs and such, I'm going to
say 3-5 watts pegs the meter. So, as I said, you can scale it back or design
the thing to work for you. Cost is about $10 IF you have to buy any thing.
It can be made from junk box parts and a spare case from a scrapped piece of
equipment or housing from the shack - or just about anything. If
interested, e-mail me for info.

Does anyone have any designs for a (low) power meter that would read
powers
of up to 1w (down to say 50mw or even lower) up to and inc. 6m?
