What is LP-500?

LP-500 is a digital station monitor which displays detailed information about the transmitted signal of a station. It displays the sampled signals in numerous formats including Power/SWR, various oscilloscope type displays and a spectrum display. The sampled signals are obtained by demodulating the RF, like in a traditional wattmeter, and should therefore work on any frequency for which there is a suitable directional coupler with the appropriate voltage scaling and time constants. It should be noted that demodulated samples are audio frequency based and not the same as RF samples. With some types of modulation, the demodulated audio is not a linear representation of the modulation signals, therefore the spectrum display works quite differently than a true spectrum analyzer. This doesn't pose a problem for AM signals, where the demodulated audio is faithful to the modulation signal, but is a challenge for SSB and other signals without a carrier. For this reason, we have developed special test signals which allow for some traditional SSB tests to be performed, although the tests cannot be directly compared to measurements from a true spectrum analyzer. In many cases, though, similar information can be gleaned from the tests, and they can be used for comparative tests to see the effect of changes to the transmitting equipment.

Watch LP-500 / LP-700 Video...

First video of LP-700, sitting side by side with the LP-500 and the LP-100A for size comparison. Due to the limitations of the HD camera, this is not a good comparison of the resolution of the displays, which is actually the same, but still a good comparison of size. This video shows the latest firmware and provides examples of some common operating and testing scenarios.

Note: The video starts in Standard Definition, but if you click on the far right icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the video window, it will zoom to full screen High Definition. With a broadband connection, the video should be smooth and glitch free, even in HD.

* The Spectrum display does not sample RF directly, so results cannot be compared directly to

the couplers employ diode envelope detectors, signals without a carrier would normally be
distorted during demodulation. To account for this, we provide special test signals for these
modes which add subcarriers to simulate the existence of a carrier. See usage guidelines in the
User Guide for more details.

While the LP-100A couplers look similar to the LP-500 couplers, they are completely different
and are therefore not compatible.

Connections:

Power: 12-16 VDC @ 800 mA maximum, center pin positive, 5.5mm OD / 2.5mm ID. The supplied
cable either has a white stripe on the positive wire, or ridges on the negative wire, depending on the
cable supplied. The meter has a protection diode to prevent damage in case of reverse polarity.
The meter also has a built in replaceable 1A automotive type plugin fuse on the PCB for protection.
We recommend a well regulated supply with a 1A to 1.5A rating. A wall mount DC supply that works
well is the Triad # WSU120-1000-13 (DigiKey part # 237-2225-ND, ~$10USD plus shipping). An
alternative is to use the accessory 12VDC jack on the rig if it can supply the current. You can also use
a 12VDC power distribution strip like RigRunner connected to the main station DC supply. When sharing
a power supply with the LP-500 and rig, make sure that the supply, rig and meter are all bonded together
with heavy wire or copper braid. If there is any residual DC voltage on the ground lead to the meter, it can
add noise to the scope displays and increase the power and SWR readings. Using a separate supply like
the one mentioned above avoids the problem, but it’s still a good idea to bond all your equipment together.

PTT: For older amplifiers, loop the PTT (send, amp keying) between your amplifier and rig through the
LP-500 using RCA cables. Two isolated pairs of connectors are provided for connecting two amplifiers.
Use either pair for either amplifier.

USB 2.0: Connects to computer using standard USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors). Used for flashing
firmware and interfacing to LP-500 VM and future utility program. Can be connected to USB 2.0 or 3.0 jacks on
PC. No special drivers are necessary since the standard Windows drivers are used. Windows should
automatically recognize the LP-500 as USB HID (Human Interface Device).

Couplers: Connect to corresponding jacks on the coupler(s) using supplied or user provided CAT5/6 shielded
Ethernet cables. Unshielded (UTP) cables are probably acceptable as well. See Fig.1 on page 3.

Test Tones: Audio output for built in test tones. 3.5mm mono. Connects to the MIC or LINE input of the rig.
An attenuator will be needed in the case of mic input, and possibly galvanic isolation (transformer). Interfaces
designed for a sound card based RTTY setup can work for this. To minimize ground potential differences
between the meter, rig and power supplies, it is recommended that they all be bonded together with heavy wire
or copper braid. This will minimize pickup of noise on the test signal displays.

Line Level… Most rigs have a high Z (10K) line input designed for sound card based digital modes. These
inputs work well for the LP-500 test tones. One some rigs they are labeled as line inputs, and have dedicated
RCA or 1/8” (3.5mm) jacks. On some rigs they are part of an ACCessory jack or a DATA jack. These are
generally DIN type connectors. Consult your user manual for specifics.

Mic Level… There are some inexpensive “sound card” interfaces available to converting line level outputs to
mic level rig inputs, with level adjustment and isolation. Devices in this category include the W2IHY iBox,
RigBlaster Nomic ($60USD) and several interfaces from MFJ, like the MFJ-1273 and -1275 series. I have
tested these and found that they can provide proper levels to the rig mic jack, and minimize the effects of
multiple ground returns. These devices do not utilize magnetically shielded transformers, so it is important
to not place them near power supplies with large transformers. We will be publishing a help file on the LP-500
web page detailing methods to avoid pickup of these signals. In the meantime, you can check out the discussion
“clean up 2 tone signal” on the LP-500 User Group or extensive info published by Jim Brown, K9YC,
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf

Creating your own test tones... In addition to the built in tones, you can create your own tones and save
them to the microSD card inside the LP-500. The card uses the FAT16 file format, and the files must be
named USER0001.wav through USER0004.wav. The wav format should be 16-bit, 44.1 kHz sampling rate.
Remove the card and plug it into a PC to save the new files. It's located on the audio daughtercard near the
test tone output jack. The files can be any valid wav file, including voice.

Main Power/SWR screen showing Peak Hold power value. Also shown in the bargraphs and small numbers are continuously updating peak and average power.

Waveform screen showing keying envelope with + / - edge triggering at 30 wpm. This allows display of both edges of the envelope at the same time. You can also see a slight drop in power putput over the duration of the keying element in this case. Also displayed are adjustable cursors, which in this case show risetime of the cw envelope (1.6 ms). The cursors work in all WFM modes and measure various parameters. The freeze button makes measurements easier.

Two-tone SSB waveform using built in two-tone generator. Also shown are the peak power markers, currently set to 400W.

Connecting Test Tone Output to Your Rig…

The Test Tone output is intended to feed a line level audio input of the rig. Some rigs have a dedicated jack for this, but some of the newer rigs which have limited space for connectors don’t. Most rigs have a DATA connector, which is meant to be connected to a TNC or Sound Card RTTY interface. These usually take the form of a DIN or mini-DUN connector. Sometimes these are labeled ACC-1, ACC-2 or ACC-3. The pins that you want to look for are usually labeled Data IN and Gnd. These would connect to the tip and sleeve of the audio jack on the LP-500.

An alternative is to use the front panel MIC jack on the rig, either an 8-pin round or 8-pin modular (Ethernet type) connector. You will need an interface like the inexpensive W2IHY iBox to make this connection. The iBox accepts the unbalanced line level output of the meter, and converts it to any number of outputs to feed various connectors on your rig, either front panel or rear panel. Julius, W2IHY can direct you to the best option for your rig. It is generally preferred to use a rear panel connector so that the microphone (or mixer) can remain plugged into the front panel. This will usually allow you to have independent gain controls for the mic and meter levels, so that they can be matched. If the levels aren’t matched, adjustments made with the test tones will not correlate directly to microphone use.

Fixed bug in v2.21 which didn't properly recall previous amplifier gain setting.

2.21

Adds a gain selector to the trapezoid modes to allow the user to tailor the trap width to match the gain of his amplifier. It was determined that this was needed to accommodate the latest tetrode and LDMOS amplifiers which have considerably more gain than the FCC rules have previously allowed. The range is 12 to 26dB and is adjustable in the touch screen just above the trapezoid mode buttons.
