RF Output Power increases in stages, normal?

Post by 2E0PJY »

Hi Folks

Running .189 on Win10 on an HP i7 ZBook with 16GB of RAM, it runs perfectly with low CPU and great performance. However I have noticed something a little odd that I am not sure is normal and would appreciate any guidance or advice. I have a FLEX-1500 connected to an LDGZ100 ATU and what I am seeing is this:

When I hit tune on PowerSDR and watch the FWD Power it seems to raise in steps, most of the time it goes to 8% then 100% but on a few occasions it goes 8%, 11% and then 100%. My meter shows that its bang on 5 watts at 100% but I find this a little odd and wondered if there is anything in the settings I have missed? All seems to work ok, and I am enjoying using my 1500 again with this fantastic bit of software!
