Hi Vic, I have the K3S with 5.33 firmware and see what you see. I believe this is normal. Page 9 of the manual (Transmitter - output power) implies 6 meters will be lower power max, although 106 watts is never actually stated. Based on the statements of a lower max setting for 6 meters in this specification, it would be a reasonable assumption the max power setting would be something lower than 10-160m. Also, when setting CONFIG:PWR SET NOR, 6 meters will operate independent of the other HF bands. Supporting some difference on 6 meters. I actually thought I saw a thread some time ago from Wayne or Eric confirming the difference in MAX power sets on 6 meters compared to the rest of the HF bands, but have not been able to find.

Firmware 5.33. On 6 meters when the PWR control is turned all the way up, the VFO B display only reads 106 watts. On all other bands it is 110 watts. I know that the actual maximum power output might vary per band, but shouldn't the PWR control set the requested power to 110 watts on all bands? Do others have the same result? -- 73, Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO Rehovot, Israel http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ ______________________________________________________________ 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 n...@comcast.net ______________________________________________________________ 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
