[Elecraft] P3 TX Mon Power Measurement Anomaly

[Mike VE3YF]

Ken:

For what it's worth, I have noticed the same for years on my PowerMaster Meters that there is a bit of power drop when going thru BPF's.

In my case I use Dunestar 600's and I can see as much as 10w drop on the output of the BPF when the BPF is on and maybe a watt or so when the BPF is off. I always looked at it as this is normal. While it may be an anomaly, I wouldn't really loose any sleep as you still can drive the amp to full power.

I am not so sure that the Alpha Metering circuit LED's are all that accurate to measure the slight changes in Power In and Power Out.
