Tim, I also do not see output power, in the AM mode, as you describe. I am running a 5000A and PSDR-2.2.3. I record the following numbers. The Fwd Pwr as displayed on the PSDR console match the readings observed on a Bird 43 wattmeter.
AM Carrier Level = 100.0 Drive = 100 Fwd Pwr = 120W AM Carrier Level = 50.0 Drive = 100 Fwd Pwr = 75W AM Carrier Level = 50 Drive = 50 Fwd Pwr = 34W I got the same readings on both 160M and 80M. I did not try other bands. These power levels have occurred since PSDR-2.1.5. Previous to PSDR-2.1.5 the AM power levels were much lower. I never run more than 20W carrier out of the 5000A during AM operation. Hope this info helps. 73, Bill - W1MPY -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Tim Ellison, W4TME Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 12:04 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] 100 Watts on AM Ross, That control is not the wattage of the AM carrier. It is the percentage of the fixed 25 watt AM carrier (see the tooltip by placing your mouse cursor over the control box). So a value of 100 is actually 25 watts of carrier. A value of 50 is 12.5 watts of carrier. Bert, I am not sure what you are seeing so I recommend that you submit a HelpDesk request (http:///helpdesk.flexradio.com) to open a support ticket so we can triage this issue in greater detail.
