Re: sBITX V2 serial # 001 Current Status and question #sbitx_v2


 

Farhan,?

This is from a known good power meter. I ran the calibration routines back when you first discussed them so the sBITX power readout is pretty accurate up to 17M and a few Watts off on 15 - 10, but the numbers are from the external power meter.? On 80 and 40 I can bypass my tuner completely so those numbers are close to what I would see into a dummy load. On the rest of the bands as I said, I could be a couple of Watts low from actual power out from tuner loss.? Only a couple of Watts though since this antenna requires minimal tuning. SWR is better than 2.5:1 on all bands, and better than 1.5 on 80 and 40.

I'll try to find the dummy load today, or borrow one, but I don't expect a huge difference. Maybe a Watt or two.

Dave,?

Known good connectors, known good short cables, and power readout from a verified Daiwa meter.

I'm getting good signal reports from people. I had to back off the mic gain a little after the first couple of people said the audio was too hot.??
Again, I'm OK with these numbers, but I'm just concerned that something is off since I see others getting better power out at least on the lower bands.

Thanks for the responses.
