Run the TX Gain calibration procedure in the K3 utility. And try another
wattmeter!

A strange thing just occurred. I have been using my K3 regularly with
no problem, usually into an amplifier. Recently, I had an amplifier tube
short and I am using the K3 barefoot. I was tuning up on 80 and saw
that my Autek WM-1 said that I was only putting out 70 watts into my old
1500 watt dry dummy load (SWR<1.35:1). I checked the power setting and
it was adjusted to 100 on the K3 display. I ran through the other
bands, and now I am fully confused. Here is what I found, with the K3
display reading 100 watts at all times:
10 meters 95 watts
12 90
15 50
17 95
20 95
30 95
40 70
80 70
160 100
Does anyone have an explanation or cure? Could it just be the old Autek?
