Grant,

Yes, the K3 uses the same power and SWR sensing for less than 12 watts and greater than 12 watts.

It sounds like you have a non-functioning KPA3.
You might want to check with an external wattmeter to be certain.

Hello All,

Just received a new to me K3. Love all the features and ease of operation!

Checking it out this afternoon, transmitting into a good swr, at 12 watts or
less, the output shows 12 watts and 1.2 SWR

Turned up to 100 watts, the output shows 1 watt and no swr. Power supply
voltage and current no issue.

Question: Does the 10 watt output and the PA3 share the same circuit for
return power (SWR) or are they different?
