[Elecraft] [KX1]Output Power Measurement

[Ron Bower]

I have searched the archives and have not been able to find a definitive
answer.

 

I've now completed the construction of the basic KX1 and would like to have
a fairly reasonable measurement of the output power on 20M and 40M

 

I have a very decent dummy load but do not have a very accurate RF Power
meter. I do have a decent DMM and could measure the voltage drop across the
50 ohm dummy load - I'm not sure how accurate the DMM would be at 7 or 14
MHZ.

 

Is there a recommended method to measure the power output without an RF
power meter ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Ron, AC2C
