Hi Tom, Since it behaves into a dummy load it's probably the SWR but you could also take a closer look at the TX gain calibration. Even after running the calibration routine I have had to touch up the numbers on a couple of bands.
Take a look at the K3 manual page 62 for TXGN{pwr}. The last paragraph gives advice on changing the setting manually. Put the K3 on 40 meters, turn off TX ALC and reduce TXGN slightly. Then turn on TX ALC and give it a try. 73, Mike K2MK -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/adjusting-the-K3-to-not-over-drive-an-amplifier-tp7596673p7596676.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
