Hey Rich,
Help me understand something here:
What difference does it make that the anode supply is unregulated when it comes
to peak power readings? The CW signal is going to pull the anode supply down
to a specific level. The SSB signal will pull that anode supply down to the
same level at its peak. I fail to see how regulating that supply would make a
difference in PEP levels between CW and SSB.
I have an unregulated supply and my peak reading meter shows the same peak
level on both CW and SSB.
