[Elecraft] Measuring power output of an SSB transmitter

[Romanchik Dan]

Sampling at twice the bandwidth will allow you to accurately extract  
frequency information about a signal, or if all you were viewing were  
sine waves. To view the actual waveform, however, you really want to  
sample at at least 4x or 5x the bandwidth, or, even better, 10x the  
bandwidth.

73!
