From page 9 of the manual: "K3S/100 typ.  Suggested max from 51 - 51 MHz, 85 W,  52 - 54 MHz 70 W. "    There are other specs related to K3S/10 and transverter outputs.

Looks like 100 watts is a good number from 50 - 51 MHz.   I see that on my radio and I've not checked power above 51 MHz.   The internal tuner operates at around 5 to 7 watts output while resolving a match.  Using the internal tuner seems to tell me the external devices are not operating with a 50 ohm nonreactive load attached.  In that case, being voltage sensing devices, the load will affect the power indications.

The point which would concern me most is having 3 different power measuring devices which give significantly different values.

Did you check the specs?  I don’t think it is supposed to put out full 110

What is the expected output on 6 meters?

The K3 shows 110W
The P3 watt meter says 73.1W
The LP-100A says 60.1W

When I use the internal tuner it never
breaks into the higher power range, it
only outputs at 7 watts tops.

On all the lower bands it puts out 100
reliably.

Thanks & 73,
