I'd agree that fractional "S" units could be useful, a ratio of 2:1 being often unhelpful. The suggested workarounds look good; one hang an old RF voltmeter on the IF. But how elaborate do we want to get?
Anyway, here's a verse, "Roger Copy," I wrote and sent to my club's bulletin in 2003: Roger Copy Roger copy? QSL? You're five by nine, repeat. I missed your name and weather; my report, that would be neat. The rig's a brand new Garbletron, my beam is turned around; You've got a real good signal here, please say again your town. QSL? My audio? How do I sound to you? Is my 1500 watts still getting through? The rig's a little hot, I'll give this mike a shot, And just what does an RF clipper do? QRZ? Are you still there? I must retune the amp; I don't seem to be hearing as I should. Give me a listen to, does my voice sound deep and true? I'm trying something else that might work good. Ah, QSB. You faded out. I see the reason why: The coax melting at the tuner, there. I'll replace it with hardline and call another time, Seven threes, and see you later on the air. © Cortland Richmond 2003 Cortland KA5S Saving for the K _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
