Baofeng UV22L High power output - Handheld Ham Radio

[@norrinradd8952]

This was actually a very good video. As you were calling out the power each time you changed frequency, my brain started to graph the results. Would be neat to see the entire range plotted. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your input :) it helps drive me forward :)

spurious emissions & harmonic distortion may cause a higher reading. One of my Baofeng shows 32 Watts on High. Using a GY561 meter. Using SDR software one can see this effect

Very interesting results there Paul. My only thoughts on the high readings is that those frequencies were pretty close to the airband frequencies which are AM and not FM so unless that had some bearing on the results I just don't really know as I'm by no means an expert.? 🤔🤔🤔

Yeah , the spike around 138-139 was Odd , i think i will have another look at the UV5-RH around that frequency , the hardware may be similar (i maybe wrong) as it uses the same CPS
