PG XL Suggestion Thread
I received my PG XL last week, and I must say I am thrilled with the amplifier. My previous amp was an Expert 1.3K-FA which was a great amp, but the PG is a step above.
That said, I have a few initial thoughts regarding how SSDR could be improved to support the PG and thought it would be interesting to see what others were thinking.

That said, I have a few initial thoughts regarding how SSDR could be improved to support the PG and thought it would be interesting to see what others were thinking.
- My biggest ask is that there be a separate RF Power slider that can set the radio output to to the amp. This value would be used when the amp is in oper mode, and could be added to the AMP or TX panels
- Would be really nice to allow the user to set a max output for the PG and have the amp not exceed that value. Barring that an estimated max output based on the set exciter value would be nice.
- Power settings per band/mode would be nice - perhaps as an 'advanced setting' in the AMP panel e.g. have a toggle that expands the RF Power (see above) where the user can set power parameters per band/mode
- Have an amp stby/oper button on the AMP panel. It feels odd that it is only available in the bottom left of the SSDR window
- Port the funcionality of PG XL utility into SSDR. E.g. add a PG XL option under the settings menu
- Allow the AMP panel to be expanded into an expert mode which shows the information (Vdd, Vac, mode, etc) that the PG XL utility displays
Cheers
Ross
