Does the Quad 5 have adjustable RF power on SSB via the front knob?? The spec sheets says LSB/USB adjustable 0-40w, but the user manual page 8 says AM/FM only.
Anyone know for sure??
Anyone know for sure??
Just checked yes it does
I don't have the radio I was just reading the stats on the web site. If you go to Bobs Cb and click on the quad 5 it will tell you all about the low and high dead key. Hope this helps my friend..
Sorry I could not be of more help. Let me know about sky-tronics if you like them. they have some good prices.
So using a RF pwr meter you flipped to USB or LSB and verified a low dead key and then high dead key? What type of reading did you get if I may ask??
I appreciate your help.
you use mic gain for adjusting SSB output.
In simple terms there is no carrier on SSB so it's all audio, adjusting the mike gain will control output. You can over do it of course and this is why ham rigs have an ALC meter. You can watch your output and see when you are over driving it. In general with the ALC meter you don't want the meter to move at all or barely move, this way you know the limiter is not kicking in and compressing your signal. This is just one of the many reasons why we were recommending a ham rig over an export.I get that too much mic gain kills the modulation..
