Someone forgot to ID ;-) But thanks for the test. Question, I assume you are on VHF FM? You are dead-keying at different power settings. What happens if you speak? Does the Amperage climb as you modulate the carrier? I suspect that transmitting voice will draw more power than a dead key. Maybe you can do a follow-up video with voice.
That's a nice demonstration, especially for SLAB use in the field. Wouldn't it have been easier to put the meter next to the radio, so we could see both at the same time?
