If you are careful and listen for the zero beat between the rx radio audio output and the audio generator (you will need to make the audio generator audible in some fashion) you can get within a few cycles of the tx radio's frequency

According to W8JI average power of a two-tone test on SSB should be 1/2 the PEP. If your meter cooperates with this formula then you have something useful here. But like I said there is another way to measure PEP on SSB with a average meter and the only error is cause by the reduced power...

Nice piece. Thanks for the link. I don't think I have seen that one before now. But lz still needs to back up his statement.

Are you sure about that. I am asking him to explain how to use a BIRD 43 average responding meter to indicate PEP on a 100 % properly modulated carrier. Specifically the standard issue AM mode as described by the emission standards of A3E double-sideband a full-carrier - the basic Amplitude...

OK. But don't you think he needs to back up his remarks with the necessary correct information. I think there are numerous people who would be interested in this. I know the answer, I don't think I would rely on the method for accurate results. It will get you in the ball park but if you are...

Just what I expected; You're trying to weasel out of this discussion. Don't you want to share some of your vast knowledge about radios, antennas, propagation modes and wattmeters with the rest of us. You are in this forum rambling on everyday and now you decide that you don't want to share...

What does that mean. Are you saying there is a simple way of using an averaging meter to indicate "AVERAGE POWER" or "PEP POWER". Somewhat ambiguous. Please specify. You have left this open to interpreatation and I don't want you to use that as an excuse to weasel out this discussion...

Just wondering if there is a way to indicate my posting numbers within each thread? I am wondering if the shaded area between the thread title and the number of pages in the thread that contains the number of likes could also indicate the posting numbers for each user. For example: If there...

There is a method by which you can use a average responding wattmeter to reveal the PEP capabilities of your amplifier while transmitting SSB. However this method will not work for AM. But it will be better to spring for the PEP kit for your BIRD. For AM and SSB it is almost essential that...

I thought I was in agreement with what I perceived your sentiments about the exagerated claims made about the I-10k. And for that reason I felt the reference I made about the 'TROMBONE' match maybe being a little more efficient only needed to be conceptual rather than trying to speculate about...

I just visited the website: Gain-Master, the new reference in its class of antennas It appears that they are only claiming 25.5 to 30 MHz/2.0:1 SWR bandwidth. Not that all of an unreasonable claim.

Maybe the trombone match on the I-10k is more efficient due to less loss due to the physical size of the trombone offering less 'skin effect' losses. But what we are talking here with the difference between a tapped "RINGO" style inductor as opposed to a physically larger tapped inductor...

Well, at least one of us is familiar with this subject matter. You mean you are unfamiliar with the terms of "antenna efficiency" and "antenna bandwidth"? If so, then why would you use them in a rambling statement? If you were talking about antenna "Q" then why would you not include...

An antenna can be made to be wider in bandwidth and have the same efficiency or even greater efficiency than it previously had when it displayed less bandwidth. Efficiency is the percentage of receive signal or transmitter power that is not radiated, or wasted, by the antenna due to...

I believe for AM or SSB it is important to have a meter that will read forward power in the PEP mode. Second of importance is for it to be able to read reflected power. ( a swr meter will serve that function ) For AM or SSB I would feel crippled if all I had was a average reading meter. The...

The factory manual I have for this antenna says that the cable lengths for each one of the dipole vertical elements is 29" long. :tt2:

Your thread is somewhat similar to another thread that is still active in this forum. http://www.worldwidedx.com/general-cb-services-discussion/151925-10-watt-25-watt-slug-7.html A BIRD wattmeter is not an end-all/tell-all wattmeter. There are numerous other wattmeters available that will...

Before Digital Tv, Analog Tv was both VHF and UHF. There are still some analog television broadcasts available. I have 2 or 3 that I am still able to receive and they are in the UHF band of frequencies. They appear to be religous based broadcasts. Apparently they were exempted from the FCC...
