G'morning Julian:
I tried using MixW and PSK31 (DATA A mode on K3) just now and at first
saw somewhat you describe, however, when I reduced the Line In gain (MIC
control on front panel) I easily controlled the power out.With 5 watts
commanded on the K3 power control, Tune mode in MixW and a line gain of
about 18, 5 watts displays on the K3 and the external power meter. Now
when I click on the CQ button in MixW (F2), the K3 display still shows
about 5 watts and the external power meter shows a fluctuating power out
of 2.5 - 5 watts as the PSK signal is sent. I don't see a problem with
the power out display at all on my K3.

I haven't done any data modes operating recently so I have only just noticed
an apparent anomaly in the K3 power output display that presumably has
occurred since the last firmware update. The meter reading on the K3/10
shows nearly full scale when 5W is selected on the power control. An
external power meter shows the correct power is being radiated, so it is
definitely an issue with the meter display, which does show the correct
reading on key down in CW mode, or when tuning.
Has anyone else noticed this? Only my magnetic loop control unit has a power
meter that is permanently in circuit when operating so for other antennas I
do rely on the K3 power meter to confirm that I am running the correct
amount of power output.
