Ian,
Did you upgrade after MCU version from 5.13 or below to 5.14 or greater?
That requires you to do the TX Gain Calibration (see 5.14 Release
Notes). K3 Utility makes the task easy - just connect a dummy load that
is good for 1.8 to 54 MHz and capable of 50 watts or greater and the
process is automatic - follow the prompts in K3 Utility, it will take
only about 2 minutes to complete after the dummy load is in place.
If K3 Utility fails the TX Gain, there is one more chance - do each band
manually (see the Calibration part of the manual).
If that does not correct it, contact support.
73,
Don W3FPR

Subject: [Elecraft][K3] K3 #281 Perceived Output Issue
To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
All,
I have what I think is an output issue with my K3 s/n 281. When set at 100W
output, I am getting the following approximate output values:
10m ~55w
12m ~40w
15m ~50w
17m ~60w
20m ~60w
40m ~70w
80m ~70w
160m ~70w
