[AMPS] Peak reading vs True peak

[n3hrt@us.hsanet.net (Martin Gary)]

>The real problem with the peak reading meter is that most of them don't. If
>it cost less then 300 bux, it doesn't read peak no matter what the ads say.

**Well that's not actually true... any wattmeter that is not op amp driven
is not a true peak reading meter. The Yaesu YS-60 is op amp driven and a
true peak reading meter and it sells for about 130.00. Its not a Bird, but
if you understand its limitations its a pretty good meter...
