Have you run "Calibrate Transmitter Gain" using the K3 Utility from Elecraft? Just follow the instructions carefully and it's very simple and fast. There are two levels to run, 5 and 50 watts if I remember correctly. You will get a report at the end and can watch the progress on you K3 display.

So, today I put a meter on it and ran an FSK signal at 100 watts into a dummy load. To my amazing surprise, the meter only read about 60 watts out. I just upgraded last night to the latest firmware version (MCU 4.60, FPF 1.15, DSP 2.80), What should I begin looking at or adjusting to find the source of this issue? Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks, 73, and Merry Christmas. -- Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua km4ik....@gmail.com K3 #281, P3 #688 HRD v5.x/6.0 Test Team ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
