Perhaps, I have missed it somewhere in the last week worth of messages
on this topic, but isn't using a two-tone test signal and a Bird (or
whatever wattmeter is handy), whence the indicated power is equal to ½
the peak power, still a valid method for measuring SSB Peak Envelope
Power?
Assuming, of course, that the transmitter in question is sufficiently
linear at the power level in question to accurately reproduce the
two-tone waveform.
