It is standard procedure with a SDR-1000 to create a brand new database and not an import or a copy of an older one( http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50089.aspx ) after installing a new version of PowerSDR (http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50088.aspx).
After a new database is created, you must re-calibrate the SDR-1000 because calibration data is not stored in the radio like it is with the FLEX-x000 series of SDRs (http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50324.aspx). This is easily done with a dummy load and a signal source of known frequency and strength, like the XG-1 (http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50271.aspx). After doing the calibration procedures, if you are still having problems with the power output, then you should test the output voltage from the sound card and calibrate that appropriately. The procedure is located in the SDR-1000 Operating Manual (http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=112). If you do change the sound card output voltage settings, then you MUST re-run all of the calibration procedures again. Especially the PA calibration tests.

Lately when using the TUN function, the actual output power is approximately 30W, as measured with an external calibrated power meter (the PwrSDR screen indicates 23W Fwd Pwr). The Tune Power input box is set 10W. I deleted the database and replaced it with a past known good database generated with this version. Same results. I then ran PwrSDR v1.14.0 with the last known good database for this version. Same 30W. Any idea what's causing this? The TUN function is one of my favorites for quickly tuning my ATU and amplifier.
