My trust old Palstar WM150 finally expired, so I bought one of the new MFJ-891 meters.

What impressed me is the giant sized meter that makes it very easy to see. The LED back lighting is neat too! Nice styling and finish.

However, in the "PEP" position (it has an active peak reading circuit), the power output reads 130 watts. In the "AVG" position it reads the correct 100 watts. Tested with key down, solid cw tone in both modes.

I'm waiting to hear from the MFJ folks to see if there is an adjustment to the PEP circuit to get better accuracy. If so it's a "keeper". If not, at least I can see it.
