Just went and D/L. Thanks .

XV-50 into a dummy-load:
K3-Drive        W2-UTil         XV50 Bars        W2-Box-LED

0.1mW drive     0.50W on W2     2 bars ((2W)     0    
0.2mW drive     0.83W on W2     4 bars ( 5W      0
0.3mW drive     1.42W on W2     5 bars   7W      1 1watt
0.4mW drive     1.90W on W2     6 bars  10W      1 1watt
0.5mW drive     2.41W on W2     6 bars  10W      2 2watt

0.6mW drive     3.02W on W2     7 bars  15W      3 3watt
0.7mW drive     3.66W on W2     8 bars  20W      3 3watt
0.8mW drive     4.23W on W2     9 bars  25W      4 4watt
0.9mW drive     4.81W on W2     10bars  30W      4 4watt

1.0mW drive     5.35W on W2     10bars  30W      5 5watt
1.5mW drive     8.80W on W2     10bars  30W      8 8watt

So, as you see, nothing agrees with anything. Note: I am not a test-lab
and have little in the way of measurement equipment. Coaxial-Dynamics in
the PA output. However, 500/1000 watt slugs.

But, the XV50 drives the 180w 6m brick to an acceptable low limit (based
on XV50 drive).
The Brick drives the PA to 1250W .. so I can't complain in that regard.
Just wanted to monitor/see the output of the XV50 and can't seem to do it.
