Can't find a value I should be putting in RCA TX1 field so set to 1 (on?)

Power still seems low on transmit - I hear amp click though… I'm missing something obvious…

Thanks, Martin KW1M

    Hi Martin, the RCA TX1 field in Timings is a delay in ms, not on/off. For your purposes, it should be set to zero.

    How much power out are you getting for 30 watts in?
