Bird slug reads high
#1
Hi All,

What do you think would make a bird slug read high? 

Slug is a 50D - 200MHz to 500MHz. The test setup is proven, two meters in series connected to a Termaline load with meter.

Meter tested ok with known good slugs.
Slug behaves badly in known good meter.

Slug reads FSD (hard over!) in the FWD direction.
Slug can be adjusted to make sensible readings when rotated to reverse. I think this is pointless.

Terminating resistor and diode replaced, trimpot works ok, no dirty spots, smooth adjustment.

I don't know the answer but what do you think would make a bird slug read high?
