My 2014 purchased K3 is 20-25 watts low on 14mhz but all other bands are good. ....just haven't worried about it as I normally use 50 watts or less to drive an amplifier. I'll look into it after ARRL DX CW in February, so long as it doesn't get worse.

The other bands haven't changed, nor has the supply voltage (13.6 V at full power). Restoring to a previous configuration does not help. I had a similar problem early on, also on 15, and had to ship the K3 back to Elecraft, who replaced the 10 W module, but not the KPA3. 15 seems to be a problematic band. Has anyone else seen a problem like this? 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott K9MA [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
