Tim, have there been any advances made to the VU5K to make sure the same is true on 2m? That was the primary reason for returning my F5K and am waiting for some great news.

Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Minimum Output of Flex-5000?


Like most watt meters, the accuracy at the low end of the scale is less than
the middle and end, but PowerSDR is close to having a 1:1 relationship
between drive level and watts out on the FLEX-5000 and FLEX-3000.

Has anyone accurately measured the minimum output power of a Flex-5000?

Using my ancient Autek WM-1 swr/power meter I see a bit under one watt with
the Flex drive slider set to 1 (it goes to no output when set to 0). The
Flex's own meter shows one watt. That's on 40-meter CW into a 1.0:1 SWR.
But
I question how accurate either power reading is at such extreme low power.

Thinking of using the Flex in some QRPp contests.
