Default Who Calibrates Bird Slugs?

Heck best thing can do, is find someone else with
a wattmeter, and then compare the measurement, vs.
your slug/wattmeter. If within +- 5 % don't
worry! You wouldn't even hear the diff at 10 %!,
but if memory serves, these are susposed to be
accurate to 5%.. Jim NN7K

I have a 2,500 watt, HF slug that I don't have confidence in. Anyone
know who calibrates slugs for a reasonable fee?

Thanks.

Have you contacted Bird? Last I heard, they were still making equipment. As
to "reasonable" - thats a good question. But then at least you would know it
is "accurate".
