Hi Tokio,<br>
<br>
if I recall correctly 'drive control' is done by varying the DAC<br>
current. Hence I would suggest to check first the real Penny RF output<br>
power without any post-amplifier:<br>
<br>
PA settings 38 dB, drive power 100 percent, apply 'Tune button' and<br>
don't forget to select 'use drive power' in 'transmit/tune' window.<br>
<br>
Output power should be around 500 mW @ 2 - 21 MHz, then power drops to<br>
200 - 400 mW. The TX meter in PowerSDR shows slightly different values.<br>
If all is ok, you can test the 'drive power' variation and measure how<br>
far output followes the 'drive control'.<br>
<br>
73, Helmut, DC6NY<br>
