I  managed  to  get a few more minutes on this, and now my SA is fixed
and calibrated I thought some SA screen shots would be useful. I stuck
a  small  rubber duck antenna in the input port and looked at my signal
in  real  time  off  my normal TX antenna whilst actually transmitting
WSPR2.  Tried  with  2  frequency  spans.  Also  took  photos  of  the
scopematch  showing a good V /I balance, and the amp meter set to show
reflected power, which all but nothing. Am I clean....? :)
