Hello, More info. I have checked the decimal point per one suggestion. I also now noticed that running JT65 on 15M, it claims 100 watts (full power) even if I set the power of the KPA3 to 15 watts. If I disable the KPA3 and run the K3 at 10W is shows 10W. Looks like a PA problem of some kind.

Tx Gain Calibrations must be performed - a pass - at the 5W level before proceeding to the 50W level. If the Tx Gain Cal failed at the 5W level on one or more bands, odds are one of the output or the driver devices are failing. Re-run the 5W Tx Gain Cal, copy the results to an email and send it
