Here's follow-up on the power instability problem I have been
experiencing with one of my K3s:
Although I already had the latest firmware loaded in the K3, I
reloaded the firmware. I also ran the VCO MD calibration and
checked the 3 mounting screws on the bottom of the K3, as someone
had sug
I've mentioned this before, but several seemingly inexplicable problems I
have had with my K3 have been solved by simply doing a Parameter
Initialization (see manual.) Just be sure to save your configuration
first. May not help, but doesn't take long so always worth a try. One
caveat, that Don W
Something similar happened with my KX3. Support told me to reset and reload all
the firmware, and it worked fine after that.
I recommend that you get advice from Elecraft. Their advice worked for me.

Hi Arliss,
I recently had a similar problem with my K3. I contact Elecraft and received
this response from Gary:

See if it will produce 12w on 160-10m, and at least 8w on 6m, in Tune, with
the KPA3 menu set to Bypass. The VFO should be near the middle

If you do not have the latest firmware loaded along with the latest K3
Utility, please load the latest and try again. If it continues to fail,
contact k3supp...@elecraft.com.

Arliss,
I would suggest that you run the Transmit Gain Calibration and see if
that improves the situation.

I'm experiencing a problem with instability in power output from
my K3/100. No word back from Elecraft yet (it's only been a few
days), so I thought I'd try here.
The problem is that at relatively low power output levels
(approximately 10 to 40 watts), the power output does not remain
