    RF Wattmeter Kit designed for Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom, Elecraft, TenTec, Akinco, and most other Amateur Radio multi-band multi mode transceivers. FOUR ELEMENTS ARE INCLUDED, see below for the list. Everything you need to test and monitor your multi-band transceiver and antenna system performance in one complete package.

    This kit covers all amateur radio bands from 2-1000 MHz.

    Elements are fully compatible with Bird Models 43, 43P, 4314C, and 4431. See our eBay store listings for these Bird RF Wattmeters. You can use all your Bird elements in this CDI 8300A wattmeter.

    All kit components are new with original factory two year limited warranty. Coaxial Dynamics elements are 100% compatible with the Bird 43 series elements.

    When you need Peak power measuring capability in the 2 to 1300 MHz frequency range and from 100 mW to 10 kW, then you need to get your hands on our Model 83000A RF Peak Reading Wattmeter -- only from Coaxial Dynamics. Elements are included for the amateur radio bands from 80M to 903 MHz, other elements are available in our online store.

    Similar specifications to the Bird Model 4314C, also will Peak power in digital mode transmitters.

    Coaxial Dynamics Peak/Average RF Wattmeter 83000A - SSB, Peak, Pulse, TDMA, CDMA, DMR Digital.
    The Coaxial Dynamics 83000A RF Power Meter is similar to Bird 43P power meters but with the added capability to capture very short bursts of pulsed RF power at relatively low rep rates.

    88800A CDI Foam Padded Case with ample space for several elements.

    Two year limited warranty, manufactured to NIST standards.

    The following new CDI elements are included:

    • Bird 250H equiv* 2-30 MHz 100 Watts - Amateur HF Bands 80-10 Meters
    • Bird 100A equiv* 25-60 MHz 100 Watts - Amateur 6 Meter Band
    • Bird 50C equiv* 100-250 MHz 50 Watts - Amateur 2 Meter Band & 220 MHz Band
    • Bird 50E equiv* 400-1000 MHz 50 Watts - Amateur 450 MHz Band & 903 MHz Band
    • Elements are Manufactured by Coaxial Dynamics, Middleburg, OH, w/2 Year Warranty
    • Coaxial Dynamics Elements are 100% Compatible with the Bird 43 Series Wattmeters

    Type N(F) Quick connectors are standard or specify UHF Quick connector option at no charge.

    Similar in appearance and operation to the CDI standard Model 81000-A Wattmeter, the Model 83000-A converts from Average Reading to Peak Reading, with the flip of a switch, by inserting a peak reading amplifier between the element and the meter.

    Complete with a built-in line section, CDI Quick Match RF connectors for 50-Ohm cables and transmission lines offer the speed and reliability you expect from Coaxial Dynamics.

    The Model 83000-A is designed to measure RF power in amplitude modulated systems such as television, telemetry, radar and peak envelope power (PEP) such as SSB and AM signals. The plug-in elements available for the 83000-A are inter-changeable with those for our Model 81000-A. To compliment each application and specific requirement, elements are selected separately.

    Self-contained and requiring no line power in either Peak or Average mode, the Model 83000-A is the right choice for portability and functionality. With peak reading circuitry that operates on one 9 volt replaceable alkaline transistor battery (supplied), normal, portable usage is possible for at least 90 days or the life of the battery.

    The use of a rugged shock mounted meter with a mirror-backed scale along with superior taut band technology, provides reliable and accurate readings, and also that satisfies both the US Navy and Canadian standards for bounce and vibration. This is your assurance of complete accuracy.

    Your confidence in the quality and dependability of the Model 83000-A Wattmeter is assured with the Coaxial Dynamics Two Year Limited Warranty.
