I tested my rig using dummy load and scope. My rig is serial 1198, using f/w 2.38 and dsp 1.90. I don't see any spike in output. On cw the o/p power on key down is initially about 95% of the set value and then rises to the set value. I tested this on all bands using 51w o/p. On ssb the peak power occasionally exceeds the set value but very slightly, maybe 5% or so. I tried changing the power setting but got the same result. I did however notice that the needle on my analog power meter (Diamond SX200) overshoots the set power - this appears to be a function of the dynamics of the meter movement.

The spike appears to be at fully 120 watts when rig is adjusted to 50 watts. When oh when will this rig be at least half way done? 73, Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
