thanks for the input. I just verified that the ALC bars are as described. Line-In and so forth are set ... But this wouldn't be band-specific would it? It's now not just ten meters. What I don't recall is the last time I actually TRIED to run more than 5 to 10w on a digital mode, So here's the break-down: 10,12,15,17,20 all toggle to near zero when the click is heard as power on the K3 is increased from circa 11.8 thru 12w (when I hear a click and the K3 HP 100 watt deck is activated). None of these will put out more than 6 to 8 watts despite what the RF power says it thinks the K3 is doing. 40,60,80,160 all will transmit 1 through 100w on TX-Data through the soundcard. On CW, 160 thru 10m will xmit 100w . the number of ALC bars is fairly constant through the bands, in Tx-Data mode, when sending via the Soundcard. -- Bob KD7YZ AMSAT LM 0901 http://www.qrz.com/db/KD7YZ www.denstarfarm.us/LGD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
