Firstly Got the K3 assembled. The transverter board was back ordered and so is the subreceiver so I will be re entering the K3 and adding to it at least twice over the next few months. I'm not looking forward to the disassembly & re-assembly but doing the kit sure gave me a great appreciation for the detail and function this marvelous radio has. Absolutely amazing.
Kudos Wane & Eric, you surely have an amazing way of looking at things. Most effective and clear. With that there are a few questions but in the spirit of one at a time; The power supply I have been using in the setup is a Heathkit Power supply which was made for one of their last Transceivers. It's a HP- 1144 and offers 20 Amps out. After calibrating the K3 I tried getting 120 watts out to the dummy load but after the 50 watt calibration, when I held tune down to see how it read. I only got 102-105W out, not 120, though I set he power out at 120W. I'm wondering if the Heath power supply is lacking and that's the reason for the lower maximum output? It seemed to work well as a backup for the Omni V & corsair. Idears?
