At least some of you aren't seeing this. :-) James Rogers suggested turning the Mic gain to 0 and then back up and he was getting good output. After I did that, I could only get about 25 Watts peak on both meters. I switched to CW mode, transmitted a short carrier which showed 100 Watts on both meters (power control set to 100). Switching back to SSB both meters showed about 70 Watts. I have since bumped TXG VCE up to the max, 3.0 dB and am getting about 90 Watts peak on each meter (I say fourrrrr in a normal voice to get the K3's meter to stabilize for a bit). I had previously had TXG VCE set to 1.0 dB. I'm not sure that rolling back to the last stable firmware would solve this or be fraught with other issues. Generally, roll-backs don't work all that well in other devices. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
