Hang on a minute, Ian!
I've just looked in your book and in section 6-5 you say in a passage
on Peak Envelope Power: "PEP is the RMS RF power level at the peak of
the modulating waveform." "RMS"? Which is it: RMS or AVERAGE??

It's not a term I would use any more; but if the first sentence hadn't
tired you out, the rest of that sidebar would have told you exactly what
I meant by it.

Not getting confused, are you? ;-}

No, just getting more careful about writing things that can be
selectively misquoted :-(
