....Just wondering though, what would you use to ACCURATELY calibrate it??

I have 2 BIRD 43s and a 4304A. All give me a reading of +/- 400W into a 600W BIRD Dummy load
when the Elenos says 460W

So my guess is the Elenos is off


.

if you know the exact efficiency of the amplifier, you can know the output power through the calculation of the amplifier's voltage and consumption...
Can you mesure as is on photo as exsample

- Update

Received a 24064B Display from Aliexpress @ €22 inc post It's a 22pin which means the Led Backlight is connected differently
So modifications required to isolate it from the Display Circuit
And Bingo - 500W

Nice work

nice done

The blue LCD looks sexier in my opinion, well done twice!

It's now on Brian's TX rack for the summer

Note the tin of Beer

What happened to the 1000w elenos?

It's still working fine, it's under the bench.
However...
It's not as efficient as the 500W at lower power

How much power are you running day to day?

500W

Had to do a double take at that panel layout, thought it was melting

Nice rack

Ps Can you please check your PM inbox

It was on Brian's TX rack until the middle of November 2025 when it failed to start one morning

After a lengthy examination the Power Supply was declared officially Dead 23/11/2025

So... on Brian's rack I put the Enigma 350W Linear with one of my NRG's to drive it
Left = NRG Pro3 PLL 1-4w - Right = Veronica 2024 version

And for the ELENOS I ordered one of these... Took it apart - added an external control for 30~ 50V control on the front panel.
Full test = 0 ~ 500W adjustable output no problem, all ready for next summer .

some impressive stuff Brians Brain

Lovely images, do you are any money from adverts or this this a work of radio hobby passion only ? It must cost a fair bit to run, replace and repair. Must be cool to run 500W and not worry at all about being raided.
