Or...better yet, make friends with your local radio service
technician. It's a sure bet that he has a Bird and the proper slugs.
I'm sure a quick once around the airport is cheaper than a Bird 43.

In a Ham Radio shop , possibly Radio Shack, you can get a swr meter for the
144meg vhf band which is quite useable on the aircraft band.

The old Collins transport COMM radio has a very nice one built in
on one end. The one that's so old it's full of vacuum tubes.
It can easily be removed. Shows forward and reflected power on a meter
and has a very nice low pass filter in it.
You buy one cheap then have the guy pull off the module, send it to you,
and ditch the rest!!
