Hi Eric, Many thanks for the explanation!
No problem here on this end as I have an external meter that lets me know I actually have "power out". I'm just glad to know it wasn't something I was doing wrong! Thanks again for the info. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio - Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 8:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Forward Power Meter Joel, This is an unfortunate side effect of having the CW process processed differently than the rest of the DSP. It should be stated that ALL of the power readings in the 1W mode are based on the input to the DSP (as opposed to a hardware readout). Because of this dependency, in modes where we are not using the DSP in the normal fashion, the meter does not read power. These modes are TUN and CW. This has been on the list for some time to fix, but it has just never gotten to the top. A quick solution would just present a N/A in those modes. Just to be clear, this is only an issue with the 1W radios as the 100W PA has hardware that allows us to read both the forward and reflected power.
