I updated my K3 on Friday to firmware 4.39 releaased in early July 2011 I use it with my KPA500 (serial # 316)
In bearfoot mode the K3 runs 100 watts In driving the amp mode I adjusted it to get all green LEDs (540 watts output). It is reliable and works all the time I think those that are having problems with the two power modes on the K3 need to get the most current firmware 4.39 installed I often make mistakes. I am no authority but the above works for me. 73 Jim W9VNE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
