I have a question on the new FCC rule regarding PEP power measurement.
It seems to me the wording is aufully confusing on their definition
of what PEP is. I don't have the text of the Report & Order in front
of me, but in the same sentence they talk about "average", "crest"
and "peak". To me, PEP is not an average power but the instantaneous
peak at the crest (highest value) of the cycle. How does the word
"average" get into this??????????
