[hpsdr] Where has all the power gone?

[g4fre at g4fre.com]

Tonight, I upgraded penelope without incident

with tune set to 100%,  tx gain set to max (38.0dB) i get the following
results when hitting the tune key:-


band	powersdr	power meter
160	600mw		510mw
80	620		580
60	610		600
40	600		600
30	570		576
20	520		531
17	476		486
15	450		462
12	425		435
10	393		413
6	152		184

power is measured on an HP436 power meter with a hp 20db attenuator

"power sdr" is the power indicated by powersdr svn 2025 24 feb

The Penelope output transformer was reversed (under Phils guidance) a while
ago

Posting for Phil ....

Beta testers,

There is a new version of the Penelope FPGA  code to test  - v1.1.

This has many code improvements curtesy of Kirk, KD7IRS, as well as
reporting the serial number of code loaded into the FPGA and enabling
PowerSDR to display  Penny's power output.

Download the latest  PowerSDR files from

svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_windows/PowerSDR/branches/kd5tfd/PennyMe
rge/bin/Release
and see the README file in
svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_hpsdr/trunk/USBBlaster-Binaries
The process to update the code is the same as previoulsy used for
Mercury. As per usual, feedback to the reflector please. 73's Phil....VK6APH
