Hallo Ian,

In the manual, once you have finished the calibrations, it says to turn off TECH MD.

You don't really have to turn off the TECH MODE. The manual, imho, tells you to (suggests that you) turn off the TECH MODE, so that the chance of changing a sensitive menu item by mistake is reduced. I sometimes have it on and sometimes have it off.
Thanks for that Toby. I am trying to work out why my original calibration had changed. It can only be from firmware updates and I guess I was wondering whether having TECH MD set to ON could cause this issue?

The SSB power level problems discussed recently on the reflector don't appear to be caused by the calibration at 1mW, 5w and 50W. Elecraft is, afaik, working on a fix, and I assume it will have been dealt with in the next major firmware update. <fingers="crossed">
My calibration was somewhat off. Having run through it again, I am happy enough with the output of the K3. At 50W on tune I can get 400W from my Ranger 811 (about what I would expect). On SSB however, it is only about half that, regardless of mic.
