mine works
mine works fine the power meter just fluctuates mid band or around on dead key.For example on channel 1 my power meter on radio reads dead key 18 then on channel 20 it fluctuates from 20 to 30 on the dead key and then on channel 40 it shows 40 dead key thats with power all the way up.My swr on channel 1 acording to the rado is 4 bars but on outboard meter it read a 1.1:5 then on channel 20 it reads flat on outboard meter and 1 bar on the radio and then channel 40 1.0:5 on outboard meter and 1 bar on the radio.Radio works 100% and when i have the outboard meter hooked up "just swr meter" dont have a power meter to use.The dead key on all channels reads 40.It might be reflection due to a tv antenna about 12 feet from my radio antenna.You guys probably have a flat match across the band.I used to have that.I got a power meter coming to test it this week so i will keep everyone updated.I keep the radio set to 10 dead key and it never fluctuates and the radio stays cool.I also see on the meter i get just as much pep.If i do a 2 dead key it will only swing about 30 on ssb.The radio gets nothing but good reports.I have never had that satisfaction.
