<DIV>These measurements are made with the Penelope v1.1<BR>and PowerSDR (KD5TFD
25Feb2009) revision 2713 (2716?).<BR>Thanks to Bill for looking into the XVTR
issue. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Measurements made prior to rotating T-2 on <BR>Penelope 180 degrees.
PowerSDR Setup is all PA <BR>settings are 38.0 db, and tune is always at<BR>100
(w) or % !!! PowerSDR is the reading <BR>with TX Meter in Fwd Pwr, and Power
Meter readings<BR>are made with an HP-432A power meter with HP-478a <BR>head
through a Narda 20 db DC-18 ghz attenuator. <BR>The Thermistor Mount is a Model
478A which only goes <BR>down to 10 Mhz. So the power meter measurements at
40<BR>meters and below are suspect.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Where you see 70cm, 23cm & 13 cm, this is setup in the<BR>XVTR table
with LO's of 404 mhz, 1268 mhz & 2276 mhz to<BR>yield an "IF" of 28 mhz.
Power in the XVTR setup is<BR>always set to 100. I do see a difference from full
output<BR>with 10 meters selected vs full output with the 28 mhz <BR>"IF" as
selected in the XVTR setup for the three UHF bands.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I still see a problem with XVTR Setup pertaining to "RX Gain"<BR>no effect
and Power (wierd effects). I believe these to be<BR>"inherited" from the
original PowerSDR. I had these same<BR>issues with SDR-1000 and PowerSDR 1.10
and later. If you<BR>setup for 3 transverters and enter power numbers like
100,<BR>75, and 50 respectively, then when you select a VHF band and<BR>click
through them, the power setting will randomly change.</DIV>
