This morning I got a report of "distorted audio" on 17 meters. I proceded to
hook up my Bird 43P to the SDR-1000 and my dummy load. What a surprise. The
rig was putting out 150 watts PEP! I ran the CAL procedure. Still 150 watts.
Manually reduced the gain in setup for 17 meters so rig puts out 100 watts PEP
into the Bird. Clean audio once agn. It seems like the cal procedure will set
the TUN wattage correctly to around 100 watts but when using the rig on SSB the
output is way too high on some of the bands. It's like the ALC is not kicking
in or something. I went thru and manually set the band gains to 100 watts PEP
with the 43P and now all is well at least for SSB. Has anyone else experienced
this?
