Measuring Drive power
Please REPEAT the same operation while using Tune F. (Drive full power WITHOUT amplifier).
Then, gradually, as you are Tuning and making gain measurements for the different segments,
TRX-Manager will memorize the Drive Power output for each Transceiver (1-4); consequently,
it is not necessary to repeat this operation each time you Tune as far as other parameters,
for a given segment, remain unchanged (especially antennas and of course Drive power itself -
see note b).
2) Determining the Gain
press OPR to engage the amplifier (see note a),
Tune from the Linear Reminder (while using Tune> or Tune F.) WITH amplifier running,
Gain is displayed in dB
Stop tuning
Gain measurement
The measured gain may be slightly lower than the real gain (0.2-0.5dB) since the wattmeter is
inserted behind the amplifier. Also, if your antenna is not 1:1 SWR and while the amplifier is
not running, your transceiver's protection circuit may slightly reduce its output power.
If you control the Transceiver's output power control by computer, TRX-Manager checks that
all parameters stay unchanged. If TRX-Manager detects any change, it displays DRV? (in red)
to indicate it is memorizing drive power.
