Fred,
I believe Ed is referring to the KXV3 TEST mode. See page 50 of the
manual, the first bullet in the Milliwat TX Gain Calibration.
That is different than TX TEST.

Help me out here ... if I go into TEST mode and send something, my K3
is really making RF, albeit not much?
As I accumulate birthdays, I find that, while my copy skill stays
fairly constant, my "fine motor skills" are declining, and I don't get
enough sending practice on the air. I've been getting the exercise in
TEST mode, sometimes with the KPA500 in OPERATE and an antenna
connected on the belief that the manual was correct and I wasn't
making any RF. So far, I don't think I've sent any state secrets,
credit card numbers, or other private information ... maybe I should
put the dummy load on?
