Enable peak-hold for SSB voice peaks¶
Peak-hold freezes the needle at its highest deflection so you can read SSB voice peaks without having to watch the meter continuously.
Before you start¶
- You must be connected to a FLEX-8600 radio.
- The Cross-Needle Meter applet must be open (Applet panel > Cross-Needle tile).
Steps¶
- Locate the Peak hold toggle button near the meter face.
- Click Peak hold to turn it On.
The needle now holds at its peak position, then decays when the incoming power drops.
What each control does¶
| Control | Type | Default | Setting key |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak hold | Toggle button | Off | (none persisted) |
Tips¶
- Peak-hold is most useful in SSB; for AM or FM with constant carrier you may prefer it Off for instant response.
