By all means, If your friend will"re-calibrate it for free" then go ahead and do that.
It may or may not give you the same readings that your friend see`s with his meter.
The Radio shack meter is also a good basic meter, the same apply s that it may or may not read the same as your friends meter.
I know it seems critical right now, but as long as the radio/amp set-up is working to your satisfaction try not to worry about 75 or so watts on a meter.
I been playing radio for 30+ years and after a while you might find as I did that it is not so much what number you see on a meter as how well the whole system works together.
The only exception to this is the guys that run "Comp" set-up`s were they are using multi-amps to extremes were reflect and over drive will kill an amp quickly ..... but for the average user not so.
Have fun with you radio.
