Which would indicate proper operation of a SSB transmitter rated at 60 Watt PEP output in J3E mode?
In SITOR (NBDP) communications, the power meter can be seen fluctuating regularly from zero to the 60 watt relative output reading.
In SSB (J3E) mode, speaking into the microphone causes the power meter to fluctuate well above the 60 watt reading.
A steady indication of transmitted energy on an RF power meter with no fluctuations when speaking into the microphone.
In SSB (J3E) voice mode, with the transmitter keyed but without speaking into the microphone, no power output is indicated.
