[Flexradio] QRP on the 100w/auto tuner version

[David Queen]

I live in an Aprtment and think it would be better if I kept my power output
low. Around a watt.
This will make it a bit of more of a challenge making contacts but so be it.
How well does the 100w/auto tuner work as a QRP rig? Also I want to try
really low power out less than a tenth  watt for example will that be easy
enough to do?

Thanks.

David,

The FlexRadio software offers a scaled output stepped from 1-100%.  We
do not have the fine control that would be necessary to set the 100W
output to say 10mW.  However, you CAN disable the PA (which disables the
ATU and bypasses it), and set the PWR slider from 1-100% of 1W (or
something close to it).  This is probably what you are going for.
