I think the specs of the DX25, say it's minimum power is 6kw - I expect the losses involved with the aerial absorb the difference 😡

More power would indeed be nice. Of course the DX25 is running a little more than 4kW to achieve the 4kW EMRP, I would guess somewhere around 6kW. Were the kind folk at Ofcom to authorize an EMRP of 10kW then the TX could be run at around 15kW. No doubt Alan could confirm the actual efficiency of the ⅛λ folded unipole antenna.
Wishing all members a great week-end.

yes, he said Alan Beech is on his way to wave his magic wand over it 😡
I think it dislikes being throttled back to 4kw - & it would be a lot happier stack of electronic circuitry, at 10kw 😡

10.05 am Friday - Steve Dack just said there is a problem with the main transmitter so the reserve transmitter is on with low power.
