Strange behevior with genius tuner on 40 meter band

Maurice · February 2024

In the last weekend during the PACC contest i saw something strange with the outputpower on the genius tuner.

I had running my SPE 1K amplifier in max 400 watt in SSB, als was the software voor this amp running.

Then i saw that the output power what i saw on the software was much higher then on the genius tuner.

For what i saw was this behevior only on 40 meters, on 20 or 15 meters, this effect was not so strong as it is on 40 meters.

Possibly due to phase differences reflected power will be added or subtracted to/from TX power output.

The correct test to give you the correct answer is to run both at the same time and into a dummy load.

If those results are the same, then everything is working as it should.
