Jan,
Run the TX Gain Calibration. You may have to borrow a dummy load that
has a lower SWR if the calibration procedure shows errors.
K3 Utility makes it easy and automatic, but it can be done manually -
see the Calibration section of the manual.

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?
