Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?
Hi folks,
I have an HP431C, Marconi 2955a and a homebrew AD8307 meter from a QST design. All read near enough exactly the same for anyone but someone with OCD. The most user friendly is the AD8307

Re: [help] Only noise being seen while IQ balance / phase lo / phase hi.
Jose,
Before you do any pictures please check this.
Or, at least confirm you have checked.
Voltages here will tell if IC10 is faulty. Reiner has said the same.

Thanks for all the info. It will come in handy. Especially appreciate the comment about the reversable USB connector. That relieves my concern about possibly backwards connection.

Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?
Hi Arv:
I guess part of the answer lies with what the final objective is. That is, for most hams using HF gear, measuring down to the micro watt probably isn't necessary. For QRP work, there are a lot

Arv,
A wonderful instrument to have if your doing any RF measurement.
Team it up with a SA and RF measurements get very interesting.
Yes, the prices are all over the map as it here are clones like

Jim, what did you do for the USN at Kamiseya, CT perhaps? Spent a lot of 2-2-2-80s at Sabana Seca, PR 1968-1971.

Re: What are you QRP guys using to measure power?
George ,
Differences like that are generally expressed as ratio of powers
so 3 w compared to 5W is about -2DB less. or 5W compared
to 3W is 2DB more.
Now the guy at the other end has his Hilberling
