Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Changes When Driving My Amplifier

Yes, this is a very helpful menu item.  I normally keep TUN PWR set at 20 
watts, which allows amp tuneup to be started at lower power with less 
likelihood of damage due to a switching or antenna mistake.

On the K3 check your CONFIG:TUN PWR setting against your power setting.

Hi, this is Mark Griffin, KB3Z. I noticed last evening while on 40 meter 
SSB that when driving my amplifier that I had the K3 set at 48 watts 
input. As I was hitting the tune button I noticed that the reading on the 
K3 was now at 50 watts. But, when I took the amplifier off line it was 
back to 48. I guess I never noticed this before and maybe it's normal. Has 
anyone else had this occur? And, if so, is there a fix for this? Thanks!
