Has anyone actually measured the 10 Mhz level on their thunderbolt? More than +10 dbm?

Thanks

I have now:

+11.7 dBm on the 8568A spectrum analyzer with 2nd & third harmonics at -60
dBc.

So yes, mine is a dB or two above +10dBm.

Yes.  In my experience, generally +12.4 to +13.3 dBm into a 50 ohm
load (nominally 1vrms).

Best regards,

Charles

Hi

If it’s below 10 dbm, it’s broken in some way. That’s often something simple like the output
coupling components or a solder joint on the coax connector.
