[hpsdr] Help with TX Meter, please

[Chris Day]

Excellent! Thank you, Phil. Just what I needed. I even seem to have a bonus at 638mW; I need to play a liitle now that I can tell what I'm doing. These direct conversion boards seem to be a lot easier to deal with besides working better. Still taking things one step at a time, but making progress much faster than last time.  Chris DayAE6VK

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.)
