Tim, For the bias and power calibration, I thought also required is the Array Solution PowerMaster Monitor connected to a serial port for accurate power output data . Is this correct?

It only requires a 100 watt dummy load. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Clay W7CE Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 12:05 AM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [SPAM] Re: [Flexradio] Power meter reading I've been seeing the same thing here for a while on my 5000A, although I'm not sure exactly when it started. According to my PowerMaster wattmeter, the output power is fine but the PowerSDR wattmeter is reading low. I'm running the latest versions of the software, firmware and driver (1.18.2, 1.3.0.06 and 3.4.0.5254, respectively). I was also seeing this on PowerSDR 1.18.1. 73, Clay W7CE ----- Original Message ----- From: "dick kalt" <w1...@optonline.net> To: <flexradio@flex-radio.biz> Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 5:14 PM Subject: [Flexradio] Power meter reading > For some time now I've been seeing a dramatic reduction in RF power output > on the meter.
