I might tend to agree with you had the P3 control been labeled WIDTH!

SPAN on a spectrum analyzer or a spectrum monitor (as used in satellite

I have a feeling that I have discovered a container of grubs
with this post I guess Don might be right... I should
divorce myself from thinking that Width=Span...
I agree with Joe-W4TV, et. al. regarding the relabeling of
the WIDTH knob to SELECTIVITY. The front panel is already
made... So
Hopefully when the Mac guru gets done with those he can work on the Mac version
of the memory manager.
In his spare time, of course.. :-)

This can usually be corrected (at the K3) by re-doing the power
calibration steps, or by manually setting CONFIG:TXGN HP to a somewhat
lower value. This adjusts the open-loop gain on a per-band basis, and
should correct the overshoot. To change the TXGN HP value you have to

Interesting question. When I first received the amp, it took 20/25 watts to

What question Phil? Nothing included in your msg.
What band? The drive required varies quite a bit from band to band. Example:
my KPA500 needs just 20 watts for 500 out on 40 meters, but a full 40 watts
for 500 out on 6 meters.

My external watt meter does not agree with the power output bar graph display
on the K3 except in the very middle of the power range. While turning the
power control from 0.1 to 1.0 W., the bar graph shows the expected 1 to 10
display. But my watt meter display goes from about 5.8 to 7.5 W.

wrong, in fact never set right. Also had to switch the P3 XV Invert #1

I seem to have an issue with my K3 where the AGC will turn off all by itself

If you are running with Ham Radio Deluxe, it is a known issue. HRD
