Measures transmitter Power Out into an internal 16 watt dummy load. Zero power consumption in the Pass Thru mode Can be left in circuit at all times Scope Stay Tuned can be used with any transmitter (15 watts maximum) and antenna. Stay Tuned QRPworks Manual rev 1.0...
Maximum power is 15 watts. If forward power exceeding 15 watts is applied, the speaker generates an unpleasant 'raspberry' sound, In the Off / Thru Mode, Stay Tuned power is off, no sound will be heard, and the device is in a pass-thru mode.
Once the VSWR of the antenna circuit has been minimized, Stay Tuned should be switched OFF to remove this attenuation. If Stay Tuned is operated in the VSWR mode with no applied power, you will notice the display will slowly increment up or down. This is due to the analog mathematics of the device attempting to calculate the ratio of forward and reflected power, which are both zero.
In the OFF – PASS THRU position, power is off, no sound will be heard, and the device is in a pass-thru mode. There is no need to physically remove Stay Tuned from the transmission circuit when it is off.
