Pete,
On one or both of the bands that failed, try running the TX Gain
Calibration as described in the manual - that is done on a per band
basis, and the manual method gives more time for the power to settle.
If it still fails, contact Elecraft 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.
