The calibrate knob is just for setting the needle to the swr set mark while it's switched to swr and in the forward position. The power will read if it's set in the power position and 10 watt scale selected. It the needle goes full right off the scale then un key and select the 100 watt position.

Did the Astatic meter come with a little rod antenna?
From what I've read,it's also a field strength meter and it doesn't come with instructions. Usually when I want to read power,I select forward and select the wattage. Try that and see if that works.
