[hpsdr] Penelope trouble

[Joe Martin K5SO]

Hi Georg, 

Keep in mind that when Alex is selected the power output indications are derived from the 100 watt directional coupler on Alex, not the direct output from Penny.  Unless you are using an external power amplifier the half watt output power from Penny will not be large enough to register on the 100 watt scaling when Alex is selected.
