Except you need full power for a range test, we suggest always use the lowest power level to minimize
battery consumption and EMI radiation. Note local regulations must be observed, so double check you are not
radiating a tone with power or frequency that may interfere with other equipment.
IMPORTANT
You must have connected a 50 ohm antenna or RF load before you switch
your transmitter ON.
If you switch the transmitter ON without a proper antenna, you may damage the RF
module of your
SPA Spectrum Analyzer
, as the power amplifier will not have a load
to feed. Think of the equivalent to an audio amplifier running at full power with no
speakers connected: you are likely damaging the power transistors.
You can use any kind of RF 50 ohm load, including a dummy load, a coaxial with a
50 ohm termination, etc. If you use a load different than 50 ohm, the reflected wave
may also damage the power amplifier.
