Mike, Did you follow the steps on page 46?
You have to set the KXV3 menu to TEST and connect an RF Volt meter to the TX OUT BNC on the KXV3. Set power to 1 milliwat (0 dbm) and adjust WMTR for .224 Vrms on the external meter.

If I calibrate the wattmeter to 5 Watts on 20m it is quite a long way out on several other bands - ranging from about 3W to about 7W. I am comparing it with an HP8484A so that might be an issue as it is a microwave head, but I think it goes down to below 10MHz. I also completely failed to calibrate the transverter output. This outputs 3mW but the power meter can not see it at all. More worryingly, it always outputs 3mW regardless of the power setting. If I set the ALC off, then I can adjust it via the gain setting . It appears there is something amiss with power measurement. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wattmeter-calibration-tp16079415p16081501.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
