<DIV>>>I can measure -15dbm on 80M up to +10dbm on 10M coming from the
PA<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I looked up the relays that are on the Alex board -
they have 55-60 dB of isolation on HF, if everything is just right.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With other impedances than they used for the test,
it could easily be 40 dB. I sometimes work people on the "wrong" UHF band
through 2 open relays in my transverter switch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>100 w out is +50 dBm </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you wanted to keep the radio down to -15 dBm you
need 65 dB isolation so I think some people might run into this problem with the
Alex board when it comes out - I guess it could be solved by switching in the
attenuator (30 dB) automatically when ever you went to transmit - under software
control of course.</FONT></DIV>
