HI,

After a bit of button pressing I have noticed the following:

When doing a first tune using the internal ATU the tuning power is a set 5W. Immediately doing an extended tune the tuning power toggles to 10W. It does indeed flash up in the VFO B window whilst tuning is in progress.

This is in no way controlled by any power level set by CONFIG>TUN PWR. My CONFIG>TUN power setting is 18W which I use to preset my Acom 1000 amp tuning.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

PS  When using the tuner in the KPA1500 with the K3, it gets the 10 watts that I have as my default.  I've not tested to see if that can be changed to any other value.

I also attempted an ATU tune on the K3 into a dummy load, it's too fast for power to be displayed.  ;-)

On my K3, (Tech Mode on, just for clarity):

Config | TUN PWR  is set at 10.0 watts.  If I want it set at another level, I turn the main VFO knob to set that level.

I just tested that into a dummy load after setting the output per above to 9 watts and got 9 watts out (since reset to my default, 10).

Drew,
Page 60 of K3 Owner's Manual states: "TUN PWR Note 1: *TUN PWR* does not
pertain to *ATU TUNE, *which always uses 5 or 10 W and is internally
controlled"

Does anyone know how to change the 'internal control' to increase from 5 W
to 10 W?
