Hello All!

I asked myself if it is possible to reduce the output level of Penny to 
0.1W within PowerSDR?
The reason is, that I found an interesting 10W PA 
(http://www.qrpproject.biz/QRPPA2008.html) which need only 10mW input to 
produce 10W output.
Or is it unproblematic to drive that kind of PA with Penny without any 
adjustment of the output level?

I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks in advance,

Alexander
