[Elecraft] K3/100 TX problem on 20m

Thanks again, Mike. My K3 has the bipolar 100w PA. I also have a properly-functioning K3S/100 with the CMOS PA. Just for comparison I ran the HP TX gain calibration on the K3S and it produced these numbers: 160m/19 80m/08 60m/10 40m/12 30m/13 20m/08 17m/08 15m/05 12m/10 10m/10 6m/06 The
