Wayne, Currently with the newly released firmware it still takes about 60 watts to drive my Alpha 99 to 1 KW (not 1.5KW) on SSB. Twenty eight watts is all that is necessary on my Omni VII to drive my amp to 1 KW on SSB. Twenty eight watts on the K3 delivers approximately 400 watts SSB on the amp. It is possible to increase SSB output somewhat by turning in CMP, but that is not the answer and should not be necessary. I have redone the 5 watt and 50 watt calibration on all bands, and I do not see any significant change. These measurements were made with PowerMaster and LP-100 peak reading meters. Thank you in advance for addressing this problem and providing a solution in upcoming firmware.
