The transceiver
output power seems
to be low in SSB
mode.
Most of the external RF
power meters measure the
average RF power. So, the
meter reading is low when
you operate and talk in SSB
mode. The LCD meter used
in the TS-590S has relatively
fast response time but it is not
fast enough to measure the
accurate PEP (Peak Envelope
Power).
Apply a continuous single tone (1 kHz) to the
microphone audio input to measure the RF
output power. The PEP will be the same as this
RF output level.
The PC and external
equipment is not
modulating.
The input terminal is different
from the one specified (Menu
No. 63) for the external
equipment.
Confirm that the setting of Menu No. 63 matches
the input terminal for the external equipment.
