Re: Intermodulation Performance
Warren, The -30dbc for IMD of third order is good.? Whats no so good is only 2W. It was actually hard to find that data for a lot of the QRP/low power radios. For many it doesn't exist.?? I never

Intermodulation Performance
I am unable to achieve IMD products at -30 dBc or better at any power level above 2 watts. I have searched this board and do not find IMD measurements. What Is the consensus on acceptable IMD levels

Advantage of Spice simulators is that you can define, or re-define, the parameters of a specific component, or components. Almost everything is programmable. This lets us use Spice simulations for

Re: QRP SWR meter recommendation? #ubitx
Sorry guys. A Typo on my ZM-2 recommendation. If you ¡°do not¡± need a metered SWR display. The tune to a dim LED works great except in direct sunlight. In this case I use a small shade.

Re: QRP SWR meter recommendation? #ubitx
I would also recommend the ZM-2 tuner if you do need a SWR meter reading. It has a resistive bridge to protect your rig, very fast to tune, and the range is amazing. You could likely tune to low SWR

Re: QRP SWR meter recommendation? #ubitx
Hi Mike, The tuner itself does not care how much power you use to 'set' it as long as it isn't *more* than it can handle. It is not impressed if your TX can pin the needle or not. If your uBitx will

I second that.? Cheap and easy.? I have a few around here, one standalone in a box. Some of the others are built into a radio.? Does the job. Allison
