[Flexradio] SDR-5000 power output

2010-11-27 Thread Bill Roberts
I noticed a tendency toward lower output on my F5KA when going from 1.18.5 to 2.0.16. On the earlier release feeding a Heath Cantenna dummy load (1.1:1 SWR typical), I noticed audio peaks between 120 - 147 watts on an RF Applications digital power/swr meter. Going to 2.0.16 brings typical peaks t

That was into a good 50 ohm dummy load at about 1.2:1 SWR Ross, Was that into a dummy load? If not, what is the SWR? If the SWR is not 1:1, you will see a false high power reading. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing

I have owned an SDR-5000 for about 3 years now that has worked flawlessly (except for the blue power switch that sticks on occasion). This is just a question of curiosity. The other day I checked the power output on CW with a fairly accurate wattmeter. It closely agrees with the meter on PowerSD
