It is from an outfit called Medusa Electronics but it is very similar to both the Saratoga Power Meter and the PWRcheck from WMR. The key is that the current shunt is in the negative lead and if you have all your devices grounded together and back to the power supply, you will get errors. My understanding is that the PWRcheck from WMR does not have this problem. > > > > I have a Fluke 289 that records data files so I could measure my F1500’s current draw (but not IxE power or integrated mAHrs etc.). I use it to monitor the capacity removed from or put back into the battery when running during field day. That way I can keep track of how much we have left and when the battery is close to full charge again. > What mode would you be using (phone, cw, data)? I expect to operate almost exclusively data, e.g. Olivia, Contestia, DominoEX, or THOR. They are what I run most of the time. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
