ARC -51 / ID-1003 Power Meter
ELTA / Admiral /
ID-1003
UHF
Power meter
Measures Forward and Reflected power
IAF # 90280200
N style connectors for input and output
Part of ARC-51 transceiver system
Collins radio clone
25 Watt Full Scale
The watt meter is designed for the UHF Band 220 to 400 MHz
so reads only about 1/3 to 1/2 of actual forward power on 145 MHz
When compared to a Bird with the appropriate 100-250 MHz slug
To use this watt meter on other frequencies
one would need to bypass the internal band pass filter, and re-calibrate the output of the directional coupler.
Seems to work at 440 MHz – the upper limit of the built in band pass filter
Though would require some calibration
as it reads lower than the BIRD reference at 440 MHz
I have a few of these by various manufactures some grey some black – open to offers
