I know that my LP-100 Power Meter is calibrated band by band, and so I'm wondering...how flat across the spectrum (from 2 to 30 MHz) is response of the directional coupler within the SDR's PA? Per the algorithm listed in Eric's email, any changes in frequency response of the directional coupler co

I have done similar "boosts" to Drake TR-7 solid state amps where the 160 and 10 meter bands have lower output. What I discovered is for the most part the carrier does not increase that much. Most of the increase in apparent power output was due to harmonics and garbage increasing faster than

Klaus, I have had two different SDR-1000's and they both acted as you described. The one I have now was made last May, so it is a fairly current hardware model. I ran them on a Kenwood PS-52 power supply which delivered 13.8 volts. I switched the power supply to an Astron and set the supply vo

Klaus, our specs do not say 100 watts on all bands-it's a NOMINAL 100 watts which means on some bands more than 100 and others less. The criteria for passing the radio during final inspection is 75 watts on 10 meters; however with the latest modification the 10 m power is closer to 85 or more. 90

Eric, a few weeks ago I asked you to provide a software version to me which allows me to go below 38.0dB in the calibration routine table. Maybe I have missed your answer but I found out myself that 38.0dB is already the lower limit: at this level we have full drive from the 4-stack board. There
