Bird developed the APM-16 for engineers and technicians who work with today's increasingly common digital RF technologies, where accurate average power measurement with conventional CW-type wattmeters can be difficult and uncertain.
Read forward or reflected power instantly and accurately, regardless of waveform, by simply rotating the element.
The shock-mounted meter features a linear scale with mirror band to improve reading accuracy. Interchangeable QC connectors add to the APM-16's versatility.
