TUN PWR is a different feature for probably a different audience.

This might work for you: You can set the TUNE function to always work at a
separate fixed power level (I use 8 watts) that is not dependent on what
power level you have dialed in for normal ops. Configuration Menu: TUN PWR

This is perfect to let my antenna

Check out the K3 menu CONFIG: TUN PWR. It will set the TUNE power to
whatever level you select without regard to the power level set on the
knob - if it is set to NOR (which it likely is now) the TUNE power will
follow the
The TUN PWR is not working. I went into CONF and changed it to 8.0 and the

Now about the tune button. I always use the tune button when I am
Did you HOLD the TUNE button? A 40 to 50 watt carrier should result if
you instead tapped the button - that is XMIT, and it places the K3 into

Hi Greg,
From what you describe (below), either your K3 is malfunctioning or
you're not pushing the correct TUNE button (XMIT/TUNE vs. ATU TUNE). If
you set CONFIG TUN PWR to 08.0 and _hold_ the XMIT/TUNE button, the K3
should switch to CW mode and output a carrier at a RF level of 8 Watts.
I guess the responses saying to set up the TUNE power level are
appropriate for your use.
I've also wanted this command but for different reasons and when the
ability to use macros was expanded a couple months ago, I added a QRP (5
W) and a QRO (100 W) macro. One goes to M3 (tap) and the
