Just finished installing the DSP board after the return from Aptos and then loading the latest program updates. I know when turning the power control there is a known dead spot between 8 and 13 watts which I hope them can correct soon, but I noticed that there is an increase in the receive gain at this point. When I turn the Power knob from 8 to 13 in receive mode the receive gain jumps up 1 S unit almost like the preamp was turned on. I tried different setting of the preamp and the ATT but the gain wll always increase 1 S unit over whatever the S meter is reading when the power level indication moves from 8 to 13 watts.. I am looking at it on 6 M and have not tried it on other bands but wondered if anyone else notices this? Nothing I can't live with..
Regarding the dead spot 8-13 watts, I use a solid state amp and I can run either down around 400 watts or I can run up near 1 Kw but not in between due to the dead spot. 73 Mike K4PI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
