Did you do a re-calibration? Is this output confirmed on a external meter? Do the K3 and external meters agree is what I am asking.

Is there some way you are getting rf back into the rig just in 15m?

Does it do this on a dummy load?

Have you taken the K3 completely out of line, no computer, no amp, no tuners etc?

Issue not seen on mine. Had it since January 2007 so maybe you have an

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.

  Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Low Output on 15
  To: [email protected]

  The output of my K3 (SN 4657) has
  suddenly dropped 10-15 W on 15 meters,
  from about 100 W to 85-90.  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?
