Telewave 44A + Peak PEP modification

[dB_Gruber]

I work for an RF company in Canada and we have a few Telewave 44A watt meters kicking around and I was wondering if the Bird 43 PEP module we have in our Bird 43 units would work in the Telewave units or if it's simply doesn't have the same circuitry within the Telewave to outfit the units with that module.

If not is there any options for adding a device that does the same thing?

Cheers,

The factory and some Bird peak reading kits look like they will only fit inside a Bird 43. You also have consider the Bird has a 30ua meter movement and if the Telewave is different then a Bird kit may not be accurate. There was a company that made a PDC-1 kit that was fairly universal, I have one new in package somewhere. I read that you must calculate the value of a couple resistors for that kit depending on the meter movement.

Here is info on the PDC-1 kit but the mfr website is dead. I'll search for my unbuilt kit.
