[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 820742, member: 301161"] Not necessarily, although I'm pretty certain Solly's estimations of the beams are probably correct. The thing is the charts that have been posted only show how the spectrum was for a fraction of a second at each frequency. This is kind of misleading because many of those peaks the test only lasts about 10 seconds and over that period the power is wound up and down slowly. So those charts could show any power level between zero and the test maximum power, giving an appearance of huge difference from one scan to another, and one location to another even though in reality these differences don't exist. For this reason I've done most of my tests on peak hold so they capture the test maximum rather than some interim value. [/QUOTE]
