"This means you have to increase from 5 to 20 watts to gain 1 S unit (400% X 5). An increase to anything less will make a "tiny" difference." Ron, I think you were responding to what I wrote. Looking at it from the KX1 perspective, a 1 S unit improvement is also an increase from 2 watts to 8 watts. That said, I think half an S unit (doubling of power) is often enough to make a meaningful difference. As you point out, how something sounds depends on the conditions, and that applies to changes in power as well. Just because a doubling of power may be barely audible in one situation does not mean that one can state that the impact of it is always small. 73, Erik K7TV ______________________________________________________________ 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
