I'm concerned that my SSB output is not matching the set power level. Reviewing the archive on a search by ALC, I found this note. It's been years since I've looked to see what scopes are available. Any recommendations - remembering that cost is a factor.....maybe a Scope that uses the PC.
Here's another part to the question....I've never used a scope to look at RF output. I assume that takes some special circuitry. ***from W3FPR note 06/03/07*** <<The best instrument I know of to check the peak power output is a 'scope. It can indicate the instantaneous RF voltage easily and it is easy to compare that level to a CW reference level. 'Peak indicating' wattmeters do have a time constant to indicate the peak and can be fooled by the audio waveform. In other words, they are not always correct when indicating the peak output of a SSB signal.>> 73 de K5AVJ Lynn (K2 #1411) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
