I beg to differ on the PEP vs Average in this instance.
On an amplitude varying signal, PEP and AVERAGE are not the same (SSB or
a complex amplitude modulating waveform). For FM, however, since FM has
a constant amplitude signal, I believe PEP and Average will be the same.
Once had a VHF Mastr Pro mobile showing well over 150 watts - a broken
antenna connection and infinite (almost) SWR can make a meter read funny
- also had a 450 IMTS mobile phone with a broken center conductor that
had a very good SWR reading - just not much range - Your Mileage May
Vary, and I may be wrong.
