FWIW, it's on pg 46 in my original Rev C1 (11/18/07) manual, so it's been around for quite a while. ??? Calibration Procedures on page 48 of the Rev D1 Manual has Wattmeter Cal right after Synthesizer Cal and just before Transmitter Gain Cal. Maybe you either have an old manual or missed it.

[Elecraft] K3 Power calibration and current consumption

2009-02-26 Thread Ken Kopp
I may well be the only one caught by this, but be sure that the TRANSMITTER GAIN procedure on pages 49 and 50 of the manual has been done, but also include the 100W level. IMO, the first paragraph under WATTMETER on page 49 should read ... 5 W, 50 W , 100 W (K3/100 only) etc. If you

Hi Ken, There isn't any 100 W calibration on the K3. All gain calibration is done at 5 and 50 W (and optionally 1 mW if you have a KXV3). These are the points we picked do the cal, and the firmware then extrapolates from there. So, how accurate the rig is at any setting from 13 to 100 W
