Always something else I remember just after hitting send.
The KX3 is running off the Pro Audio Engineering PAE-Kx33 power supply,
plugged into the 9-15 vdc connector.

After a fair time of non-use, today I got out my KX3 and started
working through configuration checklists. Among other things I thought
I'd check the power out.
For this test I used a Bird 43 and MFJ-260C dummy load. For HF I used
a Bird 2-30 MHz 25w element, and for 2m a 100-250 MHz 10w element. I
put the KX3 in CW mode and keyed with the KXPD3 paddle. When changing
to each HF band I hit the ATU Tune button.
On 40m and 20m I found that with the Pwr knob set to 15w, the Bird
showed about 8w out. With the Pwr knob set to 5w, the power out is
about 3w.
After changing the antenna port and Bird element, on 2m with the radio
set to 3w the Bird shows about 2.5w out.
Any thoughts on these results, or suggestions on other things to check?
Thanks and 73,
Frank K6FOD
