Alas, it appears that the Dell M5520 has been replaced by the M5530, which
has no firewire interface. :-(

I'm not sure why folks use the "pecker" to tune a rig. Is it because you
are trying to squeeze out that last few dB that you can get on peaks but not
on a 100% duty cycle? If so, it won't result in the best loading for your
amplifier especially on SSB for linearity. What works much better is
