General Notes

Note

Ham Radio, Feb 1971, p. 77. Ham Radio, Feb 1973, p. 80. Frequency range: The load is flat through 40 MHz and usable with 10% error through 200 MHz. Scaled 10, 100, 300 and 1000 watts at 52 ohms. Meter is Zener protected . The load resistor is rated 350 watts in dry air, is made of non-inductive Carborundum. As packaged in the Apollo can take up to 2KW on a ICAS basis. A thermostatically controlled warning light adjusted to operate when the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees. The Apollo enables a direct percentage of modulation readout on the 10 watt scale (for low powered transmitters). Essentially a knock-off of the Waters 334.
