The TelePost LP-500 installed today without a hitch, using 4 couplers to enable the trapezoidal linearity display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LP-500 was the last piece of the 2018 Hardware Upgrade to be installed. The station hardware is now complete, and fully tested. Now that I no longer need to get behind it, I can finally<\/em> push the rack (very carefully) back into the corner and return to full ‘mega-enhanced’<\/em> operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the LP-500 was in circuit I ran some tests using my current radio and amplifier settings. Boy was I in for a surprise! The station monitor quickly revealed that my signal was in need of some serious adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Signal was Non-Linear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My signal was non-linear. Prior to the LP-500 I adjusted the exciter drive level according to the output displayed on the amplifier (eyeball method). I’d always received good reports and so I assumed all was well. I was running the amp to maximum output with minimum SWR, and no amplifier faults and thought<\/em> I was making the best use of the amplifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My entire gain structure needed to change, starting with the microphone level and working through finding the ideal drive levels for each band. I quickly found out the LP-500 would make this work both easy and verifiable. I worked the RAC contest a bit today and made adjustments in the process. I’ll spend the next week or so creating and editing profiles until I have all my operating conditions defined exactly as I need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rack is complete and back into its corner. One of my aging 22″ monitors has gone dark (above). Rather than repair it again (I installed a capacitor kit the last time it went out) I have decided to replace it and add two more 22’s to balance out the right side display. I chose LG 22M38D-B 22″ 16:9 LCD Monitor<\/a>s. They arrive next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each side display will consist of one 32″ 4K and two 22″ LCD panels. This will provide simultaneous heads up display for 6700 SmartSDR, DXLab, GeoChron 4K, Pi-Star D-STAR Dashboard, JNOS BBS console, 6500 SmartSDR, MMSSTV and EasyPal Live SSTV Cam, SatPC32\/FlexSatPC, and WSJT-X v2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
