Has anyone else observed that the Power Output of the KX3 is changed by the
setting of the WATTMTR value?

 

For example on 20M, CW mode into a dummy load, ATU in bypass.  Power set at
10 watts, I measure 6.8 watts with a WATTMTR setting of 1.0.  But with a
value of .070, I measure 9.9.  The factory sets it at 0.84  I measure 8.2
watts at that value.

At a setting of 12 watts I measure a power out of 8.2 watts at a WATTMTR
setting of 1.00 and 11.5 watts with a WATTMTR value of 0.70. 

 

I get similar results on all bands.

 

The power shown on the display matches what is selected, and does not change
with different WATTMTR settings.
