Measuring your Transmitter Quality

Post author By admin
Post date February 12, 2023

How do you know if you’re transmission quality is good, or conversely if you’re too wide and it sounds terrible?

This month’s AREG presentation will be from Neil Abraham, VK5KA, on the topic of transmitter quality measurements. Neil will cover practical methods of testing and optimising your transmit system, from the audio going into it, to the radio signals coming out of it. If you want to be sure your on-air signal is clean as a whistle, this is a talk not to be missed!
