A two-tone generator is OK for testing an amp on a spectrum analyzer for odd-order IM performance, but is one of the last things people should use for daily tuning of an amplifier.
The most desirable thing is something that has a very low average power and full or even slightly above full peak power pulse. Single tone is fine, so long as the peaks are at or slightly over the maximum power ever expected, very narrow in width, and fairly wide gaps with no power. We really want low duty cycle pulses to tune with. 73 Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 14, 2010 10:38 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] How is K3 QRQ QSK performance 50-100 WPM? > The K3 has a two tone oscillator built in that you can use > for tuning... 73 > de Greg-N4CC > > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
