Default 70cm reflectometer?

But hopefully the Bird Termaline 50W model 8085 will do the job?


I think it is rated to 3GHz, look after it and it will be very useful.

People tend to overlook the value of a known dummy load, it is a very
useful piece of test equipment, and one of the first you should own.

If it is used, take the opportunity to test it some time.

With that in you kit, you have a chance of calibrating a VSWR meter
sampler.

You might find the following article of interest, skip the maths if it
gives you a headache, but the discussion towards the end is relevant to
setting up / testing a VSWR meter: http://www.vk1od.net/VSWR/VSWRMeter.htm
..

Perhaps you have some trusted ham neighbours who can help you out.
