I don't think you can conclude anything by monitoring the transmitter
with a separate nearby receiver. Have you tried measuring the power
output with a power meter or even an SWR meter? Your current readings
look just like what would be expected, and I suspect there is nothing
whatsoever wrong
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?

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 mod

I'll be putting my K3 in AZMHV on the map, Hopefully! If I can keep AC

THANKS everybody. Some very good definitions. I didn't think anything was
really broken and sisn't really believe it was out of calibration either but
jsut did not understand wht appearant difference. Good to know that all is
well.

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
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

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
to see if they
could top my score... so there should be several on (ssb) for 7QP from ORJAC.

There will also be a difference on anything but a steady state carrier unless

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.
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.
