If you are operating in a mode, and output power does not seem to be where it should, and then you press and hold XMIT, putting it in Tune mode. Release it, I do this by tapping the PTT foot switch.
If you now go back to your previous mode and get expected output power, this was fixed with a firmware release. I experienced it with SSB. Once I pressed Tune, then back in SSB the K3 performed as expected. Take a look at the beta software release notes on the site. You can do this without loading the software.
