I was wondering why my 2m transverter was producing much less output than when I set it up, so I thought that perhaps I should do the 1 Milliwatt calibration procedure, which I never have done. I don't, unfortunately, have an accurate RF voltmeter, but I do have an Elecraft DL1 and a DVM.
At 1mW requested power I measured 36mV at the DL1 test point, which according to the formula (.036 x 1.414) + 0.15)^2 / 50 means I am only getting 0.8mW out. Is it OK to use the DL1 and this formula at this power level? ----- Julian, G4ILO.
