1W out with FLEX-1500 after update

Hi all,
I update PowerSDR KE9NS v2.8.0 from build 80 to 113 and my FLEX-1500 is running 1W max instead of 5W. I don't know where is a problem...
Any idea?

Confirm that the drive and the tune is set at 100. The default tune drive sets at 10. I am presuming you are using the same power meter that you used before the upgrade.0

Yes, drive and tune is set to 100, using always he same power meter..0

funny, I came back to build 92 and it works...looks like a bug in the sw...0

Good stuff so the radio is 100%
If you send KE9NS an email he will respond pretty quickly. He has helped me before. Regards Gavin ZS6BG0 -
I'm sure he is on the list here...happy that the radio is OK0

Rich, I own a Flex-1500, check your antenna selection, it may be set for a transverter. Just a thought.0

Are you selecting Tune button? Select Tune, then while the "Tun" is selected, then move the " Drive " control to 100 % . There is a normal operation and then a Tune selection WHILE selected only .. The default is 10% not 100% in Tune.

I tested my 1500 running v2.8.0.113 with no issues (5 watts out to a dummy load).
As a test, do a Setup->Factory Defaults (this will make a backup of your current database to you desktop first). Or a SHIFT+CTRL+C and do a restore calibration from the EEPROM to your database and see if that fixes it? (with Tune reset back to 100)
