MADE EASY: Replacing the Bird Watt Meter Coax Connector!

In this video, we tackle the challenge of replacing the coaxial connector on a Bird wattmeter with a brand new one. The Bird wattmeter is a precision instrument used for measuring the power output of radio transmitters, and a faulty coax connector can significantly affect its accuracy. We will guide you through the step-by-step process of removing the old coax connector and installing a new one, ensuring that your Bird wattmeter is back to its optimal functioning state. Whether you’re a new ham or an experienced amateur radio enthusiast, this video aims to provide you with the practical knowledge and confidence to perform this swap yourself. By the end of this video, you should be able to replace your Bird wattmeter’s coax connector issue and get back to measuring power outputs with precision.

The SWR Meter Shootout: Are Your Readings Lying to You?

The SWR Meter Shootout: Are Your Readings Lying to You?

Are you suffering from SWR Derangement Syndrome?
Most hams obsess over the numbers… but what if the problem isn’t your antenna at all? In this video, I put multiple SWR meters head-to-head to reveal just how different the readings can be — and what that really means for your station.

📡 You’ll learn:
• Why your built-in SWR meter might not tell the whole truth
• The hidden differences between MFJ, Nisei, and IntelliTron meters
• How much reflected power really matters for your signal
• The simple way to know if your radio is happy at 50 ohms

If you thought “low SWR = everything’s perfect,” this video will change the way you see your shack.
