Jim, if you're observing unexpected behavior with the K3 Utility please consult the K3 Utility Help section on that topic. If I get a question that isn't answered in Help, I try to get that question answered in a subsequent revision of the K3 Utility's Help text.
The first two sentences in the K3 Utility Help topic on 50 Watt Transmitter Gain Calibration are "The 50 watt calibration page is shown only if a KPA3 100-watt Power Amplifier has been installed and enabled through the K3 CONFIG:KPA3 menu selection. The K3 CONFIG:KPA3 menu selection must be "PA nor" for 50 watt calibration". I don't know how you initially got the KPA3 out of "PA nor", but that's what has to change to get more than 12 watts. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of W3CP Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 6:01 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] How do I make my K3 go to HP (100 W) The K3 went to LP yesterday without me knowing it. I was surprised that no one on the QCWA CW net could hear me until I finally looked at the power meter. When CONFIG TX GN is examined, it says LP but I don't find a way to make it go to HP. If the PA has failed the K3 didn't tell me. I had planned on using the K3 for the 7th Call Area party tomorrow, and I hope some one can help this over-the-hill operator understand how to use this radio. 73, Jim w3cp ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
