How To Read These...

[btritch]

Does anyone know how to read these?
I used them on my FM radio tonight and I'm not sure how to tell how much power it has because I'm not sure how to read them, It will peg to 20w out, But on the 200 and 2000, Can anyone tell me how to read that scale on these meters:

CB/High-Frequency Ham Power SWR Meter - RadioShack.com

The meter is only usable to 30 MHz reading a VHF transmitter will no yield an accurate reading; you need a wattmeter specific for the band you want to measure.

Ok, Didn't know that...That helps...Anyone know where to get a SWR/Watt Meter for 150-170 MHZ band that will go at least up to 50 watts?

The list on the internet is almost endless. There are many more - google is your friend.
My personal preference for accuracy is the bird model 43 line but they may too pricey
for you so go with a cheaper model as long as its spec'ed for the vhf-hi range.
