Tom,
Yes, your values look reasonable. The KX1 will always indicate that the
voltage is about 0.4 volts lower than read at your supply. There is a
series diode to prevent damage from reverse polarity, so the inside of
the KX1 sees a voltage that is one diode drop less than your supply.
73,
Last week I ordered, assembled, and installed in my station the W2
wattmeter. Now that I have it, I want to make sure I'm reading the power
output levels correctly, especially as I use it to help tune my AL-811H. I
assume that I divide the output power referenced (i.e. 2K) and divide it by
20.
I am attempting to download the K3 Utility for the first time. I am
operating Windows XP on an HP machine. I have connected to one of the USB
ports on the front of the box and now to one of the ports on the rear of the
box. The Utility is stalled at the attempting to communicate step.
Please
I don't see why you think you have to do math to read out your power.
If you set it to the 2K position you read out your power directly.
Full scale (20) would be 2000 watts, etc. With your 811 amp you will get
around 600-700 watts so you will expect the W2 to read up to about 6-7

Prompted by other comments, I tested CW-in-SSB band-by-band. Starting at

My view of the operation on the gazebo or deck, etc. does not mesh in my
