Make sure the dummy load is connected; the cable is 'good'; that you are
not routing the serial data via the P3 (as if you were updating
firmware; there is sometimes a slight stumble in communications
otherwise) and that your supply is giving appropriate voltages under load.
Try this a few times, it sometimes needs that to pass. Once it passes,
save that config, then make sure it passes again. And again until
you're satisfied.
Then check the power out at 100W.
Failing that, time to call support.

The K3 is capable of power output on a per-band basis. Any chance you
have it set for 25 watts on ten meters?

Transmitted on my K3 for the first time since the 10-meter contest,
and it is only showing 25 watts out on the built-in meter into a
dummy load. Power output setting of the K3 is 100W, and same results
seen on all bands. What could possibly be going on here? Back to
Watsonville?
The cruel karma of it all is that *yesterday* I ordered a KPA-1500.
