I am in need of an RF power meter that will measure dBm in the UHF band in a
6Mhz Block starting at 663.25Mhz. I am wanting to measure the power of UHF
TV-46. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you can use a tuner-IF combination from an old TV or VCR and use the
AGC output of the IF IC (after proper calibration of course) usually the two
are located next to each other so you can cat them out as a nice compact
unit.

What you are looking for is a TV Field Strength Meter, which allows the user
to tune to any TV channel and get a measurement of the signal level on that
channel only. Some will even allow you to see the video and audio carrier
levels separately. If you need one immediately, and don't mind paying, they
are available from a number of manufacturers. Adelco, Sencore, and Leader
are a few. Of course, you may be able to find one much cheaper on the
surplus market, Ebay, or run WTB ads on some in some of the newsgroups.

Call up the chief engineer of TV-46, and tell him: "I'll give you this
nice barometer if you tell me the power of your TV station..."
