TGXL intermittent glitch

Sergey KN7K

When I ordered TGXL right after release i got rid of all my wattmeter's/SWR meters as I relied on TGXL reading for power and SWR.

Over time I learned that TGXL sometimes give wrong reading and I was afraid to damage my Steppir and constantly retuning it. It proved it is not Steppir but TGXL. Last summer I purchased LP700 to have a good reference.

This weekend i recorded it on video - before TGXL power cycle and after.

Before power cycle SWR is 2.21 while it is 1.2 on LP700. After power cycle TGXL reading is the same as LP700.

Is it a bug? Again, i catch it in about once a month or so, most of the time it is accurate.

Hi Sergey,

For what it's worth I see this from time to time too. Not sure what's going on but it must be some kind of bug. What's weird is how intermittent it is. And of course, those are the hardest kinds of bugs to track down, unfortunately.
