John,
I've loaded all versions of the firmware as they've become
available, and I only have the following observation / complaint ...
Up until the current, or maybe the next-to-last version, the
output power of my K3 as displayed agreed with my several
Birds and was -well- within the 5 - 6% accuracy range of the
Birds. I've also made the dummy load / voltmeter / 'scope
measurements, with the same results. (Please guys, I -do-
know the "traps" here, so no tutorials are needed.) Yes,
I -do- know the difference would not be measurable on the
"other end", too.
I've repeatedly run the calibration procedures and still see
a 10 to 15 watt disparity on all bands, including 6M, where
there's another Bird in that band's antenna line. This is one
of those "it worked fine, and now it doesn't" things and I hope
it gets fixed soon.
So John, if power display accuracy is important to you, I'd
maybe not make the firmware upgrade.
