[hpsdr] Help with TX Meter, please

[Phil Harman]

Hi Chris,

The output from PennyLane via Alex may be too small to register since Alex is intended to display up to 100w in the FWD direction.

If you temporarily deselect Alex then PowerSDR will indicate the output of PennyLane directly and you will be able to check all is well with the WSPR configuration.

  I'm slowly making progress setting up my PowerSDR 2/Mercury/PennyLane/Excalibur/Metis system. At the moment I'm wondering about the TX Meter. I'm feeding Alex with just the output from PennyLane; I don't seem to get any reading on Fwd Power when transmitting, although my external crossed needle meter does quiver a bit. Should the PowerSDR TX Meter be able to register the output of only PennyLane? If so, any ideas about why I'm not seeing anything? Thanks. (Actually, I'm trying to get WSPR going, so the transmit is continuous during the transmit phase and the external meter deflects something appropriate to 1/4 - 1/2 watt.)
