I recently loaded beta ver. 2.80 and all seems well -except-
there now appears to be a power output vs. power indicated
difference of about 10W on all bands, including 6M.
Setting the radio at 100W on the display delivers 110-115
watts output as indicated on two Bird wattmeters that I have
confidence in. There are two Birds involved ... one in the 160-10
antenna #1 output and another in the antenna #2 output. Both
agree when swapped between the outputs. Readings were
taken while transmitting CW key-down into a 50 ohm dummy
load. A second load was substituted for confirmation, BTW.
I've run the TX calibration routine in the K3 utility program
with no change.
I recall reading posts abut this issue recently, but no longer
have them available.
Anyone else observe this difference after loading 2.80?
