Seems to be quite a difference in the readings between the P3 showing S
scale and he S meter reading on the K3. The software in both is up to
date(recently at least). The difference is quite significant with the P3
being considerably lower. Maybe I don't know how to read the two meters.

Good Morning Jim,
First, go to the Elecraft web site and verify that you have the latest version
of the firmware for the K3 and P3. If you don't have it installed, install it.
You do need to calibrate the P3 and the K3 S-Meters. To do this you will need
an XG1, XG2 or XG3. Either will work.
On a steady carrier (i.e. from a signal generator), both the P3 and K3
should read the same. My P3 reads much lower on actual signals than the
K3, it is especially noticeable on SSB signals. Calibrating on a signal
generator doesn't alter the lower reading of a P3 display on SSB
signals. The
Bob, thanks for that correction. I knew about tinyurl.com, but not about
bit.ly. And thanks for the link to the Wiki article.
Hanging around this group, you learn something every day.

There will also be a difference on anything but a steady state carrier unless
the P3 is in 'peak' display mode. An averaged SSB signal will show a lower
reading on the P3 than the S-meter, for example.

If you have the P3's AVERAGE enabled, it can lower the peak shown on
the P3. If at the same time, you have CONFIG:SMTR PK turned ON, there
will probably be a significant difference between the two indicated
levels. The K3's S-Meter will hang on the peaks for a short time,

This is entirely normal behavior. I have my S-meter set to read peaks
and use it to give signal reports, but I set the P3 to very heavily
average what it sees. This smooths out

The K1 just never gets any love: no picture on the front page of
elecraft.com, and now not wanted in New England(1). So, so sad! I

Yup, I will be on 7QP with K3 S/N 740 and an amp (haven't decided
which yet!). Probably CW only. I challenged the local radio club guys

The reason the P3 reads lower than the K3 on noise or SSB signals is
that each display point on the P3 screen covers only a small bandwidth.
As explained in the manual, each display point is about 1/450 of the
span. For example, if the span is 45 kHz, then each display point only
covers about 100
When an SSB signal is S9, that means that the total power in the ≈ 3 kHz
bandwidth, added up, is equal to S9. The voice power is spread out across 3 kHz
of bandwidth and has to be integrated, or summed, in that bandwidth before
comparing to an S-meter reading.
Therefore, the amplitude of any

Hi all,
I'll be putting my K3 in AZMHV on the map, Hopefully! If I can keep AC
power going I will most likely be QRP. It is a bit rural out here and
sometimes AC is optional.
I look forward to working you all, if you can hear me. J
Best of luck to all.

Hi All,
During the course of testing my recently built KPA100, I'm experiencing odd
results on the cw transmit tests. All tests, resistance, and voltage checks
up until this point have been normal.
When transmitting cw into a 100 watt dummy load, things appear normal when
transmitting in QRP
Thanks all (and for offlist replies as well).
So it has offer two hots, a neutral and a ground, and I use the two hots
and the ground and ignore neutral, for 240V service?
