I have made the same observations with my K3/K144XV, vintage 2010: 8 Watts out at 0dBm in and 4 Watts out at –10dBm in, all power measurements done on calibrated Bird and Boonton meters. The transverter performs very well and gets clean signal reports, so it is not excessively non-linear. The measured spectrum, to more than 1 GHz, is clean with no sign of oscillations.
This behavior must be the result of a transmit AGC circuit in the K144XV. Harald has apparently found its upper limit adjustment potentiometer. 73 Gary, N7IR ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
