Important notes on power output | |
---|---|
Measuring power output will vary depending on many variables. Our default test-setup consists of a 14-volt power supply, 50 ohm dummy load, and Bird wattmeter reading PeP (peak envelope power). If you are using different equipment, measuring RMS instead of PeP, or have an SWR reading different than shown, you may have different results. The following chart shows an example of power readings for this radio with changes to measurement variables. Final note, the Dosy meter referenced below is directly affected by the SWR readings in the antenna system. You may notice huge differences in power readings from subtle changes in SWR. | |
Bird Wattmeter | |
Voltage | 14VDC |
SWR | 1.2 with dummy load |
Impedance | 50 ohm |
AM Carrier (low w/ 50W slug) | 2W |
AM Carrier (high w/ 50W slug) | 15W |
AM Modulation (PeP w/ 100W slug) | 80-85W |
Dosy TC4001 | |
Voltage | 14VDC |
SWR | 1.2 with dummy load |
Impedance | 50 ohm |
AM Carrier (low @ 20W scale) | 0.75W |
AM Carrier (high @ 20W scale) | 15W |
AM Modulation (PeP @ 200W scale) | 60W |
Dosy TC4001 | |
Voltage | 14VDC |
SWR | 1.5 with Antron A99 |
Impedance | 50 ohm |
AM Carrier (low @ 20W scale) | 1W |
AM Carrier (high @ 20W scale) | 25W |
AM Modulation (PeP @ 200W scale) | 70W |
NOTE | Changing SWR from 1.2 to 1.5 causes the Dosy meter power readings to drastically change |
