OK, my SSB output was low too. I'm on phone so rarely, were it not for the reflector, I'd probably never have checked and when I did find out, the thread would have already died. I did the TX Gain calibration as Wayne suggested, all seems to be well on all bands. Apparently, the DL in my MFJ tuner isn't all that 50 ohms-ish on 6m, but the trusty Heath Cantenna is.
The APF feature is really quite amazing. I have to miss SS CW, family stuff, but I'm anxious to try it out for real. It already got me 9U0A, he was whisper weak, maybe S[minus]1, I got "9A" and wondered why the pileup on a 9A? APF in, he sounded S5. S-meter was still on the peg however. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org On 11/4/2010 10:32 AM, Nate Bargmann wrote: > Additional testing shows that when I set my power down to 5 Watts and > then back up to 100 Watts results in a max peak output of 50 Watts on > SSB on both an external and the K3's Wattmeter.
