You don't need a wattmeter. If you have one, you can set the K3 so that its internal watt meter matches yours (at 5 and/or 50 watts).
You don't need a 1 mw wattmeter. You don't really need a signal generator.

I wonder how 'optional' these items listed in the assembly manual really are: Optional Equipment: 1. RF Power Meter with accurate readout from 1 mW to 5 watts, minimum. 2. Signal generator with calibrated 50 uV output at 20 or 40 meters. I have a Bird 43 wattmeter, but don't know of any element in the HF range that would read 1 mW. --Dave, W8OV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
