Great info from one who forgets to turn off switch on his Bird!
I have a 43p that has factory peak kit and after two years I still have
fresh batterys!(Perhaps here in the Northwest we have better power rates?)
Anyway,the Bird is a great meter, and if you don`t know how to figure power
ratios RFParts has a handy Bird chart.... give them a call. Jim,k7rdx
