But I have one question about the calibration that hopefully someone here can answer - does it matter what frquency/portion of the band I'm in on each band when I run the calibration test? Or do I just need to be somewhere in-band on each band? Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and assistance. If my rig passes this calibration test, there are a few other things that have been suggested which I'll check. 73 and Merry Christmas to all! --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua [email protected] K3 #281, P3 #688 HRD v5.x/6.0 Test Team On 12/22/2012 6:13 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: > And you'll likely find the cause of your "low signal strength" is somewhere > else, since 60 watts is only 2 dB - about 1/3 of an S-unit - below 100 > watts. > > That difference is not usually detectable on HF given normal variations in > propagation that go on constantly. > > 73 Ron AC7AC > > -----Original Message----- > > > Have you run "Calibrate Transmitter Gain" using the K3 Utility from > Elecraft?
