A Wattmeter is probably the easiest to use at 910. Slugs for the
standard Bird Wattmeter can be bought to cover that range. At work, I
use a Telewave Wattmeter. It goes from 20 to 1000 MHz with no slugs.
The model 44A is probably the best bang for the buck (in my opinion).

For the Bird (4410A Wattmeter):

What tool would one use to measure the SWR at 900Mhz?

I've never seen swr bridges that went that high.

A specific model number and source would be helpful...

Thanks for all of the replies.
I just ordered a used Bird 43 and an 801-1 1W 800-1000Mhz element.
from radiodan.

Uh-oh!! You're in trouble now. As a recovering Bird addict, I must warn
you that YOU CAN'T OWN JUST ONE BIRD SLUG.

You ordered a 1-watt 800-1,000 Mhz element and you think you're safe. No
way. You will notice that the Bird carrying case has room for several
slugs, so why not fill it up? So, you'll figure, oh, what the hell, I
really need a 1KW HF slug. Then comes a 1-watt HF slug. Then maybe you'll
need a 100-watt VHF slug. And from that point on, it's all downhill into
the dark night of addiction.

Then your wife says, "Why do you need all these?" And you say something
like, "Well, I have half as many slugs as you have shoes so what's the
problem."

Get help, quick!!!

I know.
