I should have also stated the loss was measured during transmit, not receive. Tnx. Paul, W9AC _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contes

More investigation is needed as I came to the same calculated power dissipation for 1.5 dB of loss at 10m. I've validated my measurements on three separate devices into a Bird Terma-Line load but th

Thanks, Phil. I've seen that specification from Ameritron and it prompted me to ask the loss question since it's not disclosed by Ameritron. When I see optional cooling fans being offered by manufact

This afternoon, I conducted more comprehensive insertion loss testing through the Ameritron QSK-5. I confirmed that the result of the excessive loss is primarily due to the SPE's ATU being in-line, e

Bill, DC coil polarity is an issue because polarized relays generally contain a reverse-biased snubbing diode across the relay coil to: (1) protect a solid-state driving circuit from damage resulting

Jeff: That depends on the coil resistance. The resistance check may not work on relays with low coil resistance. Another check is to apply DC coil voltage with a current-limiting bench supply. Revers
