If you're within driving range of Monterey, CA, on Saturday, please
stop by RadioFest. We'll have a new product with us at the show that will be of interest to QRPers, HF Pack ops, or anyone who has an HF to 6-m rig in the 0.5 to 20-watt class. The product will be announced and described in detail next week. RadioFest is an annual event. There will be interesting presentations, exhibitors, and a flea market. I'll be doing a talk at 9 AM, and we'll have all of our products at our booth.

so they finally did it they designed a zero point energy module that will
supply our QRP rigs with an infinite supply of electricity no matter where on earth we are and we don't need the sun or the wind or pedal power just the little gray box and we have 12 volts to supply our rigs. no batteries nothing just this little gray box that never needs recharging can't wait to get mine > If you're within driving range of Monterey, CA, on Saturday, please > stop by RadioFest.

Darn it, why is it that I just always manage to buy a new gadget the day
before Wayne and the gang unwails a new product. I have a LDG AT-100 pro coming my way and Wayne is about to give a talk on automatic antenna tuners....! Got a Sierra (Only consolation is that Wayne designed it) three days before the KX-1 was announced.

If you have the Elecraft dummy load, you will be able to connect your
DCmeter and with the simple formula, calculate a good average of your output. Power meter have always at least 10% error... so with your meter and the DL, it will be more accurate....

Andrew,
That elusive 'known accurate wattmeter' may be a challenge to find - especially at the power levels you are attempting to measure. Many (most) wattmeters spec the accuracy as a percentage of full scale - so if you use one good for 10% on a 50 watt scale, the error can be as much as 5 watts - and that is greater than the power that you are trying to measure - not a good situation. So even if you do find a wattmeter that is 'known accurate', it is always prudent to ask "accurate at what power level?". If one is dealing with 100 Watts, 10% may be a tolerable accuracy, but at low power levels, things become more critical on this issue. May I instead suggest that you use a known 50 ohm resistive dummy load - they are easy to check with an antenna analyzer (ideally X will equal 0), along with either an RF Probe or a 'scope. The RF Probe will read Vrms, while the 'scope (properly calibrated) will read Vp-p. The formulas are (Vp-p^2)/8R or (Vrms^2)/R where R is the resistance of your dummy load. It is easier than the 'telling of it', and will provide better accuracy than most wattmeters. You can call me a 'test equipment skeptic' if you want, but I learned long ago that trusting test equipment without question will lead you into many deep traps. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > > 0.4W ... > > I was afraid of that -- I recalibrated the tuner with a 50 ohm dummy > load and now it's showing 1.9 W when running on batteries, which sounds > correct.

IMHO you can try with a bolometer, wich is a milliwatt-meter, an some good
attenuators capable of handle the power levels that you are going to use... An HP432A is a good instrument that you often find on ebay for less than 200,00 USD (thermistor head included). If You are going to do some serious test this is the right way to do it! Alternative: find a dear OM near you that operates on microwave (1296 MHz and up).... He has the instrument for sure.... 73 de Giulio IW3HVB K2 N°4681, now completed with KPA100, KSB2, KNB2 & KDSP2. -- QUOTE: I was afraid of that -- I recalibrated the tuner with a 50 ohm dummy load and now it's showing 1.9 W when running on batteries, which sounds correct.
