[Flexradio] Low Output
Hi All, I have the following: Flex-3000 FlexDriver: 3.5.0.7171 Firmware: 1.2.5.6 PowerSDR: 1.18.5 Operating System: Win 7 64 Bit. Last night the FlexDriver dropped. I shut down PowerSDR. I then powered off the Flex-3000. When returning to air. The FWD PWR indicated about 10 to 15 Watts on SSB With the Drive setting at 100. I switched to the dummy load and had the same problem. I reset the database and the same result. Frequency is 7.268.5KHz. Mic Gain Verified at 15 CODR at 5. Mic is a Yaesu MH-31. Tested all Bands Same Results. I decided to use tune to see the results, as previously I have been able to tune into the dummy load at 100 watts. Max power indicated out was 19 Watts. Cross checked with a external Watt Meter verifies output readings. As I still had PowerSDR 1.18.3 on the computer, I tried it with the same results. Database reset did not make any difference. I think there may be an issue.

[Flexradio] Low output power
The output power on my flex radio is a bit low. I was getting aprox 65 watts into a dummy load on 40 meters. The power supply that I am using is capable of 30 amps and all of the connections to the flex radio are good. I calibrated the PA using a dummy load. I am now getting 80 watts out. Is this typical? The reason I ask is that the amplifier that I plan to use requires 100 watts for full output. Thanks for reading. Dave N1IX
Re: [Flexradio] Low output power
Dave, Due to some ALC and limiter changes in the recent code, different versions of PowerSDR behave differently related to power output. What version are you using? -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DAVID LEDUC Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 6:49 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Low output power The output power on my flex radio is a bit low.
