Lee, Bob is referring to the peak power meter. With the amp calibration routine, a constant tone is produced and the Forward Power is calculated.
>From the SDR1000 PA on SSB, if you are properly modulating the radio, you should see an average power of between 5-40 watts (measured on an external watt meter) depending on your voice characteristics . If you have a true peak reading watt meter (most are not) you should see a peak reading of 100 watts +/- 20 watts. Disclaimer: Your mileage may vary. This was covered earlier in the week and Eris referenced this resource: SSB Power Article: http://flex-radio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6376#6376 -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee A Crocker Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 9:22 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] PowerSDR Beta Preview 13 has been Released. Bob If the power meter is a fiction how does the amp set up routine work, and what is the maximum power output I should be seeing from the amplifier?
