Hello Mine is much the same - it can run from about 3w to 9w max. It would be great to have a larger range of adjustment in a more linear progression.

It looks like I can't go below 4-5 W, and the relation between drive and output looks like it's extremely non-linear. drive output 0.1 mW 4.2 W 0.2 mW 6.6 W 0.3 mW 8.5 W 0.4 mW 9.5 W 0.5 mW 9.7 W 0.6 mW 10.0 W 0.7 mW 10.6 W 0.8 mW 10.6 W 0.9 mW 10.6 W 1.0 mW 10.6 W 1.5 mW 10.6 W drive as indicated by the K3, output is measured with a W2 (but I got similarly looking results with a Diamond). Seems to me there's no point in using more than 0.6 mW drive. Also, does the transverter have a concept of TUNE power? Changing power while in TUNE seems to also change the normal power setting. Thanks for the attention Pf -- Pierfrancesco Caci, ik5pvx ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to j...@carltonhouse.eclipse.co.uk ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
