I wish to use my F6.7K as an instrument to measure isolation in a home brew antenna switch.

    It is VERY accurate at its resolution. Calibration is done at the factory. I've confirmed my signal strength scale with a NIST calibrated source. Mack W4AX Alpha Tester

    There is a bug in the vertical scalling of the panadapter that could make results inconsistant. A more accurate reading can be had by turing the RX slice to the signal of interest and then mouse over the s-meter to get a signal level in dbm. If you doing a wide band comaprison, then you may wish to get into the 'WIDE' ( no band pass filter ) mode. AL, K0VM

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
