It's more than just the power calibration. Even after calibrating power and setting the requested power below 50W, with either 2.73/1.98 or 2.72/1.98 the power output on PSK31 (in DATA A) mode often exceeds the requested power, which results in splatter. I have been having to constantly ride the LINE IN and/or sound card output level controls in this weekend's PSK contest to keep the power below 50W and PSK signal quality acceptable; I have now switched back to 2.67/1.96 for the remainder of the contest. 73, Rich VE3KI K3 #1595 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
