I have always interpreted this to mean that one RF cycle is the MINIMUM time for the measurement. Any shorter look would not define where the crest of the modulation envelope is. (((73))) Phil, K5PC

One doesn't. As I said, one calibrates the power measuring device on CW, and then one tackles the *separate* question of grabbing the true peak of the modulation. It isn't so much a question of which
