Re: Peak output power fluctuate

 

In sideband your power will fluctuate a lot depending on voice peaks and your power meter.
My peak power is similar to yours.
In CW your power should be at a steady level

For what is worth, My battery drops down to 11v from 12.5V and my output follows down from 5-7 watts to 3-4 watts. i'm running battery so that maybe a mote point if you are using a power supply.? OR make sure on the heat sink - heat up.? I use an old 12v CPU fan to keep the heat sink cool. ?i also doubled the heat sink size and use heat transfer grease.
Hope this provides a clue or helps you out.

Everything seems to be working but sometimes my peak power around 7 W and then sometimes it's around three watts and then I'll go back up to seven watts doesn't seem to be heat related.?

Any my ideas what to look at?
