SR-500
TRANSMITTER PERFORMANCE
Tests performed with 50ohm resistive load. Measurements made with BIRD avg power and PEP power meter.
Bench power __ VAC
Final amplifier bias
set to 100 ma SSB mode zero drive. _____
Neutralization
performed @ 14.150 MHZ. _____
Carrier balance
null _____ db below full power output level.
Microphone input sensitivity
at 1000HZ. A signal level not more than 8 mv rms shall produce the minimum
specified SSB output at specified freq. Mic gain set just below flat-topping and should occur between 60% and 80%
of rotation.
Flat-topping occurred at
__
% of mic gain rotation with 8 mv audio input.
CW power output
with RF level set just to saturation level.
