I added "K3" to the subject line for those of us who sort our mail. Hmmm ... I must be missing something in this discussion. There's a TUNE PWR setting in the menu, mine is set to 15 watts. I think you can set it to anything you want. That becomes the output power when I hold TUNE, and results in about 150W or so from the amp [pair of GG 3-500Z's] as I tune it. As soon as I tap XMIT and tune-mode stops, power setting goes back to where I had it set. These days, it's about 45W for 500W out of amp ... I'm practicing for my KPA500 :-) 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org > > Now I know....several guys have made T-Pads to run the full 100 watts out from > the K3 reduce the power to the amp, but that does not work for me in my set up > with my AL-82.
