Re: Achieving Max Power With FT8 on 40m
If you¡¯re getting over 12 watts to the antenna you are already over driving the radio. The LP-100a should be more accurate than the meter on the TX-500. Might want to check the ALC to make sure

Re: Achieving Max Power With FT8 on 40m
I see 27.8w from the battery ( powerwerx meter) and 12.1w to the antenna with SWR of 1.36 measured on an LP-100A, there is an elecraft T1 tuner in between the radio and the antenna- 40m inverted V

Re: Achieving Max Power With FT8 on 40m
Does the radio do this (FT8 40M) same into a dummy load? Can you measure power with an external power meter (if you are not already doing this)? Can you measure DC supply current going into the radio

Achieving Max Power With FT8 on 40m
Trying to get 10 watts for FT8 for 40m. I can get 10 watts for FT8 on 20m. I can get 10 watts with other modes on 40m. Using a 20m/40m OCF antenna. Using a creative labs USB sound card with a REM/DATA

Re: FT8 help
It was the cable - one of the connections on the audio input was sketchy - I soldered it again and got things working - thanks

Re: FT8 help
Yes sounds to me like audio isnt making it to the radio. Do you have the right sound devices selected in WSJT (this was my problem) Do you have the volume up Could be the cable, you can put a scope on

Enjoy it Joe! It's a great little rig. I had mine out on a camping trip this last weekend. The performance surprised me.

Re: Availability of TX-500
Get them on the phone. Something isn't right. My wait was three weeks from order to arrival. Far sooner than expected. The deletion from the orders is scary. Get them to figure it out so you get back

Re: Availability of TX-500
I am out of lick. Ordered on May 10, payment processed May 12. No tracking. And even worse - it has disappeared from my "web orders". What is going on, HRO?
