Antenna mute
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 6:17 pm
I'm reading the instructions on my Pixel Pro 1B since I will be increasing my potential transmit power up to 250W.
I found the Pixel gives me a 7dB increase in sensitivity over my dipole.
It says it can output up to 1.3 watts into the rig when it is saturated.
I can run a PTT line to the Pixel Pro to shut it up during transmit but would prefer not to do that.
I have an ANAN-100 so am wondering if 1.3W is too much into the antenna jacks or if there is some sort of antenna disconnect on transmit I should enable in PowerSDR.
