I have K-3 2746. Running the current firmware 3.41 etc. I have not seen 100w output from this radio ever. I hooked up my cantenna and ran the tx gain through the k-3 utility and get the following numbers for tx gain along with the corresponding power output
band tx gain number power output on tune 160 92 85w 80 100 88w 60 95 86.6 40 118 81.5 30 76 84 20 32 83 17 18 82 15 13 82 12 10 83 10 21 78.7 6 27 76 I ran the k-3 gain utility (tx gain calibrate) more than once (3 times) and get the same results. What kind of problem is occurring? Are these numbers typical? I would have thought less gain was needed 160-20 and more as it progressed. In any event I want to see 100w output which Im not seeing ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
