Claimed performance data:
The claimed performance data look quite promising (source: ‘Funkamateur’ 10/2009):
Frequency range: 1.7 to 30 MHz
Additional ranges: 6m and 2m, if appropriate RF pre-selection and amplification is added by the user
MDS 80m: -123 dbm (@ 500 Hz BW)
MDS 10m: -127 dbm (@ 500 Hz BW)
IP3: > +15 dbm
IMDR3: > 90db
Pout (with plugged-in optional amp): <= 1 watt
TX IMD(3) at 1 watt: -35 dbc
TX IMD(3) at 10 mW: -50 dbc
Spurious emissions at 1 watt CW output:
image: -60 dbc
carrier: -65 dbc
other spurious: -50 dbc
sideband surpression:
w/o software optimization: – 35 db
with software optimization: – 70 db
