Hello all,
Installed the syn pwa yesterday and ran 630M WSPR beacon overnight.I should be
getting 1mw out of the K3 - however I,m only getting .8 mw.Today I will run the
power cal maybe that will help to get a little morepower out.
The K3 is preforming very nice on 630 meters.set your rx dial
Hello Elecrafters,
I recently discovered that only 20m can deliver 90W with all other bands
deliver 40-50W. I did a RF power output re-calibration and everything is ok
now.
I don't know why this happens? I did not do any changes in configuration
before.
Any ideas?

Ken,
And I thought 1 mW was pretty paltry; 0.8 mW seems
not that much less :-)
Re listening: Having not considered 630 m until
having it available with my K3 I have no antenna
for that purpose. Most of my antennas are resonant
on ham bands -- Tri-band beam, rotating 4-band
dipole and a 30

There's are 3 calibration levels in the Utility. 50Watt, 5 Watt and 1
milliwatt. Do all 3 of them and you should have it covered.

redoing the TX power calibration.

Excellent suggestions. For the K3, we have an even easier solution to start
playing with rig commands and their effects.
We use the Elecraft K3 Utility all the time for updating the K3, but clicking

Jerry,
The fact that you can pull the plug out a bit and have proper audio in
both ears speaks to a problem with either the jack in the K3 or the plug
on your headphones. Certainly that cannot be changed by firmware or the

The sort of classic 600 meter antenna is the Marconi-T. It does require
ground radials. You can also use an Inv-L if you don't have room for
the T. Either will have a very low radiation resistance at 630 meters
for the heights average hams can get, and you'll need a series capacitor
to tune
I just use my 160 or 80m inverted vee. At least for starting out, the
limitation will more likely be atmospheric noise than antenna design.
I’ve heard a half dozen stations on 474
