I'm assuming it's the same with my Autek wm1's.
I've never used or even tried the meters without having their wallwart (power supply) plugged in?
Is it likely that the wm1 will work without it being plugged in? And if so without reading true pep what type of readings should be expected? I assumed the meter wouldn't work at all except for possibly showing SWR without the power supply plugged in. Do you believe like the 801 the wm1 would still work without the power supply?
I can't think of a reason and can't think why someone would want to use the meters without them showing true pep readings.
Is there a reason for a not wanting a true pep reading? Might there be a certain output test in which pep is not only discouraged, but not wanted?

I don't know about the WM-1, but a true peak reader needs external power.

We seem to have two theories as to how to spell "Daiwa", both of which are wrong. Look at the front panel, or the operating manual and check how the manufacturer feels it should be spelled.

I thought it was spelled Dieawa. LOL
The 801 is a great meter for visually impaired operators.

Just like Yaesu vs. Yeasu. I use different variations to my advantage while doing an Ebay search. Those items often go unnoticed. The fewer the bidders, the better.

Just for the record it is spelled D-A-I-W-A. However I tend to spell em the way I wanna.

I may have spelled it wrong, im still too lazy to go look!

...equivalent heating of a resistor

Power cannot be RMS power. RMS is calculated by squaring the function's value, taking the average (mean value) of the squared function, and finally converting that mean value back by finding the square root of that mean. If we had a peak power of 100 watts with a 50% duty cycle the RMS power, if there was such a thing, would be SQRT( (100^2 + 0)/2) = 70.71 watts. We see that 70.71 watts is not the average power, is not the heating or "work" power, and is not the peak power. It isn't anything at all useful! We can have meters that read RMS voltage, and we can also have RMS current, but we don't read "RMS power" with any of our power measuring instruments. We can't even calculate RMS power to be anything useful or sensible at all.

Go beat another dead horse. This isn't opinion, mine or Tom Rauch's . This is physics. This is fact. This subject comes up with inane regularity. I don't suppose that anything in scientific fact or physical science can halt the repeated occurrence of this ignorance. Instead I ask that the informed reader will refer back to this post and pass the W8JI link on to the unwashed masses of morons that perpetuate this and other myths.

For your information, and I mean all of you, Japanese brand names should always be pronounced in Japanese and not in artificial English. If someone has a problem with it, there are translation programs with voice output, for example Google or Bing. Thus, if amateur radio is supposed to serve international understanding as well, then it is also a matter of respect for Japanese trademarks like Daiwa or Yaesu.

When it's spelled in English, we do the best we can. If you go to the four corners of this country, you will find half of the English words pronounced differently. I'm not even going to mention England and Australia. Would you be so kind as to give us the phonetic spelling of daiwa and yaesu?

I can't pronounce a word on an internet forum but I sure as hell can spell it.

Why? Is it too difficult for you to find the translation programs mentioned?

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

No, I can already pronounce them correctly. Thanks for your help.

Daiwa = close to the way we Yanks would say "dah ee wah".
Yaesu= as above for "yah ay sue".
Generally, number of vowels = number of syllables; no syllables are accented.
For writing Japanese words in western alphabets, there are a few systems. Making things difficult is the fact that written Japanese is not an alphabetical language; it's syllabic. Makes it more efficient, but way more confusing for us gaijin.
