Re: Auto-Calibrate ppm correction

JoAnne, The tool is not "worthless" to me or anyone else who uses WWV to calibrate any significant error in frequency. I use the feature in HDSDR on a regular basis for all of my radios. It works plenty reliably enough that I can clearly observe the effect of thermal drift during warmup in...

Re: Auto-Calibrate ppm correction

Simon,

What I'm referring to is basically the ability to automatically adjust for any PPM error in the radio's displayed frequency, which currently must be done manually in your PPM Calibration window:

Re: Auto-Calibrate ppm correction

Simon, Yes, of course, the VFO must be locked to a reference signal. That screenshot was intended to capture the implementation of the feature, and I had inadvertently already tuned away from the reference frequency when the screenshot was taken. However, the pic does show the date, time and frequen...

Auto-Calibrate ppm correction

Wondering how difficult it would be to incorporate something similar to how HDSDR does it:

Thank you in advance,

Re: Anan Pure Signal

E^2 for 2 kW at 50 ohms is 100,000V^2 (316 volts RMS). E^2/R is 5.5555W for each of the 18k resistors. You are at the "official" edge at 727 watts. If course, that poor thing WILL get HOT if it is "RF small". {o.o} Your first equation is correct in that it takes 316 volts to pro...

Re: Anan Pure Signal

My resistor pack is a 3x3 parallel-series arrangement of 2-watt carbon composition 18K ohm resistors (3 resistors in parallel per bundle, 3 bundles in series). Total dissipating capacity is 18 watts so power handling is certainly not a problem. And with that arrangement I could even have any given r...

Re: Anan Pure Signal

Do you have the hardware to support it? It requires an unusually good directional coupler and a suitable attenuator, at least for something in the hands of hams. {o.o} It doesn't require a directional coupler. I built my own very simple pure resistive adjustable non-directional coupler and put it a...
