USB Computer Interface for the Bird Model 43 Wattmeter: Remote and local power monitoring with analog and digital viewing

Here's an advance look at Glentek's new USB adapter for the Model 43 Bird Wattmeter. This is a product that was introduced at the Dayton Hamvention on May 14. [ http://www.GlentekCorp.com ]

The WATCHER, as it's called, allows you to bring your Bird Model 43 rf wattmeter into the 21st century with:

***** Simple USB computer connection.

***** Advanced software interface for analog and digital power readings taken from the Bird Model 43 wattmeter

***** Peak Reading adapter: allows computer or physical meters to view PEP. Peak reading can be set up so fast on the computer that you can accurately measure a "dit" at 80 wpm. Uses the Bird wattmeter sensor for the ultimate in RF pickup accuracy.

***** Element stretchers: change the value of your element (slug)... even remotely... helps pay for itself!

***** A flick of a switch and the unit reverts back to its original, portable configuration!

***** No batteries needed: powered from the USB port.

** may be used with external power supply or battery powered if desired

This is the first software interface within your budget for a wattmeter that can interface to a computer. The monitor displays an LINEAR SCALE ANALOG METER. Remote viewing and monitoring is now possible. No need to place the wattmeter near the operating position: it's USB!

The software was designed to allow remote desktop rf power monitoring without triggering those annoying screen redraws. So viewing an analog meter showing RF power over the internet is a snap! The Ethernet RF power monitor operates without a computer. Great for repeater operators with remote locations to keep tabs on their transmitters.

Both USB and direct Ethernet versions are available. Visit Glentek at http://www.GlentekCorp.com for details and pricing.
