Just as an update, I got it all fixed, thanks to Keith and Gary at Elecraft support. I only have the 1 filter that came with it, and the offset wasn't set inside the k3 utility on the filter settings. I set the offset like it was supposed to be, re-ran the tx calibration and everything is running

Hi, Ah, of course. Your radio wasn't working well on the bands using upper sideband because of the filter offset! Very clever of Elecraft support to pick that up. I am glad you got it sorted out. AB2TC - Knut Mike Anderson wrote Just as an update, I got it all fixed, thanks to Keith and

[Elecraft] Power output on higher bands

I've noticed some weirdness with transmitting on higher bands on my elecraft. Down on 40, and 80, its great. When I transmit the RF meetings goes almost all the way the up. My w2 responds and shows a good output as well. However on 20, 15, 17, the RF meter won't even get over 50, it shows maybe

Mike, Are you transmitting into a dummy load, or into an antenna. If you are transmitting into an antenna, I have to ask - what are the characteristics of your antenna on each band that you make reference to - I need to know the resistance and the reactance, not just the SWR. 73, Don W3FPR
