I'm not sure that's possible. RemoteRig relays serial control traffic and

Always good to have your input, Jim ... but I think a case can be made
that when the K3 says its setting for this is"NOR", that should mean
power per band. After all, when you QSY band to band, don't you often
wind up adjusting the power?

Keith,
That was the problem. Somehow, I had accidentally bumped the variable
voltage control on the power supply down to 10 volts.
During the contest, I kept wondering why the dial screen was dimmer and
flickered during SSB transmit. I chalked that up to knowing I was using a
marginal AC circuit
Thanks to everyone who responded. I finally found the PWR SET menu
option. I would have thought that the NOR setting would be per band, to
facilitate quick QSY, but sure enough, mine was set to NOR (or
presumably "fixed") with PER BAND being the alternative. Everything is
fine now - after 8-9
Hi Pete,
Did you confirm that the drive power from the K3 was changing on 15M when you
adjusted it on 80M and vice versa? I’ve never had this problem 160M through 6M.
Sounds like something may be set wrong in the menu or a failure of some sort.

Pete,
You have to set PWR SET in the CONFIG menu to PER BAND.

Yes, but the "BAT LOW" message has nothing to do with the clock battery.
BAT LOW means your supply voltage is below the level you have set in
Config Menu "BAT MIN".
From the manual;
BAT MIN 11.0 Low-battery warning threshold; 11.0 recommended. (This

Henry,
The battery is *only* for the real-time clock. It does nothing else. Go

Jim,

I have been considering selling my K3, but hesitate because I might use it for
POTA, but I could do the QRP with my KX2 instead and with less logistical
hassle.
As soon as spring comes, I will try that out and

Tried what you suggested Gary. No joy. The upper limit with the PWR
knob remains at 0.8MW. I can adjust downward but not upward. Need to
get a good power meter on it and see what the actual output is. And,
I?ll try the low-level power calibration process and see what happens.
Thanks again
Thank you Ben!

Reference pp 49 of the K3 manul. Procedure to calibrate the “LP XVERTER
WATTMETER” is presenter there. The “Power Meter” for the LP port is not a
power meter in the general sense…. You will need a scope or meter capable of
accurately measuring RF at the desired frequency..
