Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 low out on 30 and 15 meters

Eddy,

How much less than 100 watts.  You can figure there may be an up to 20% 
error in the KXPA100 wattmeter reading - which will vary from band to 
band.  Are you seeing at least 80 watts?  If so, it may be that all is well.

I bought used the KXPA100 with ATU.  The KXPA100 puts out less than full
power on 30 and 15 meters. The other bands the KXP!00 puts out 100 watts
and a bit more.

Both thte KX3 and the KXPA100 have the latest firmware installed.

This according to the LED's on the amp and connected to an MFJ dummyload. I
don't own an external wattmeter. I've run through calibration several times
and the overall results remain the same.
