EP 07 CRT SS 7900 All Mode Power Tests
Does the CRT SS 7900 Power Meter Tell the truth on output power? We test all modes using a Rohde & Schwarz NRP8S Power Sensor!
Note: The power meter on the CRT 7900 averages power in both AM & SSB which reads lower than an actual power sensor in these modes

Took a trip to Dunkery Beacon in Somerset near to Porlock & Minehead up in the hills to set up the Sirio 5000 with the nanoVNA Saver software on the laptop. Watch me faff around lengthening and shortening the antenna and the effects on the SWR / Bandwidth.

A Further look at the nanoVNA and the nanoVNA Saver Software, making it easier to tune CB Antennas in the field. We check out the settings and easy calibration settings to make it an effortless tune up across the CB frequencies you want to use. We check out how to determine the bandwidth of the antenna and its performance. This is part 1 of 2, part 2 includes set up in the field and optimizing ...

    3 years later....but I would say when coms are clear, the Cobra mic is easier on the ears, and over all clarity is better due to the deeper tone. If you are talking skip with a lot of back ground noise, then the K-Po's sharper tone will then make that one easier to pick out. Just my opinion

    Thru experience the CRT range on FM and ssb especially the mic gain in the radio needs lowering to about 12/15 with any power Mike..... Try it the clarity does so much better.... Using both gains high just don't work.... Usually but not always...!! Lowish Mike gain on radio and 25% to 40 % on the Mike is best.. all Mick's are a little different.. the kpo powered and unpowered are quite good if IF your carefull with the radio gain..

    You can change the 7900 on the front left bottom display to your own call sign as I did, but you do need a programming lead to do so. Its a very nice radio to use, the best is the CTSS on board to get the repeaters.

    Hi. KPO seems to be better for DX because with more treble. Cobra is not very good, sound is bad. Test a desktop microphone and adjust moderately the level . I use a kenwood MC80 with an old President Lincoln, modulation is very clear. Astatic microphones have a very treble and metallic modulation, it doesn't match with my voice. 73

  • @paulcookney123
    @paulcookney123 Год назад

    Have you ever considered the amount of channels you could bleed into using a over driven power microphone…my opinion is there is far too many transceivers that cannot reject close channel interference from this type of microphone …one thing worth remembering there are electronic engineers with a greater knowledge than the sum total of all users who design these transceivers for optimum performance …if you are quiet on air simply turn up the the gain in the function settings and save you money for a few beers instead ,after all you are only repeating what the transceiver is capable of doing itself…only saying 🤔73 ps….the CRT ss7900v is probably the best 10/11m tranceiver on the market today with a 5k shift and good 5 level digital noise reduction producing a decent output around 60w

    With the cobra power mic it starts already clipping, the KPO is even worse, and the 50Hz humm is annoying. KPO and cobra on sideband are TERRIBLE, anything else than "pretty good". I suggest you're having your ears checked. Why don't you test them on FM ??? AM and even worse SSB has no decent audio anyway.

    Hi. I'm new to all this.. I have a question. I have the "Sirio fighter" Its hard mounted to my van roof. I can not SWR this antenna testing it with a multi meter it has a short from both the centre pin and the outer thread connection. The antenna has the removable thread/wing nut fitting so that the antenna can be removed. My question is.. If the coil and the whip are separate how do the two stay separated when the removable connection is a solid casting.. as is the part fitted to the van roof.. with two wire connections to the radio? this is my short obviously. ( I'm new to all this ) I would appreciate advice from you or anyone that can work out what i'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance:
