Mine shows the power output regardless of the PWR setting. It shows a
10 watt full scale range when it is set to 10 watts PWR or less. If I
set the PWR to 20 watts the meter switches to 100 watts full scale and
indicates accordingly. My default TUNE power setting is 25 watts and
the meter shows 25 watts on a 100 watt scale. The transition PWR
point is 12 watts, thus when PWR is greater than 12 watts the 100 watt
scale + 2 bars is displayed and when the PWR is less than 12 watts the
10 watt scale is displayed + 2 bars. The actual output follows accordingly.

HiDo you have the 100w amp in the k3? Is it enabled in the menus? The meter
reading switches at 10w so perhaps this is related? 73 Tom va2fsq.com

[Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts
Been trying to figure out why every once in a while “Ext. Mic” will display
on the screen when transmitting. I’m working with Elecraft on it currently.
My question is; does anyone notice when you have the radio set to 10 Watts
the RF meter only shows on bar? When I set the radio below 9.8 watts the
meter always works fine.
I can adjust the mic gain up and down while set at 10 watts and the RF meter
will start moving again. Even when I put it back on the mic gain setting
that it wasn’t working on. But when I turn the radio off and back on the RF
meter doesn’t move unless I’m under 9.8 Watts?
Even if I get the RF meter to start moving again when I adjust the mic
control, if I wait a little while it will stop moving. It does it with the
internal mic as well.
And just to be clear, this is happening when I push PTT and talk into mic.
Anyone have any idea on this? If you could check your radio I would
appreciate it.
Thank you!!!
