Thanks to Wayne, Tony, and Don for their answers to my question.
I am going to use my DL-1 20-watt load and do the calibration manually and
monitor the heating of the resistors (actually, I have a nice Fluke temperature
measurement tool to do job if needed).

The frequency display alignment is easy enough to do, there is good information
about this on the webpage of Don W3FPR:

I recommend the N6KR method which is linked on that page -- tune in WWV
either zero-beating against a second AM shortwave receiver, or use

Ken,
Since the K3 is doing its thing normally, try another USB to serial
adapter, or another computer.
There are 3 possible things that could be at fault - the computer, the
USB to serial adapter, or the K3 RS-232 interface.
Do what you can to reduce the possible points of failure down to
I just tried to update my K3/P3 with the latest firmware and the process has
failed, leaving me with a pretty much dead K3 - MCU, FPF and DSP1 all showing
as nothing installed, and the K3 Utility is reporting no comms with the K3.
The K3 itself powers on, but the display is completely blank.
Check the owner's manual section on forcing a firmware download

For those still pondering what dummy load to use, consider
this... My Cantenna is at least 40 years old and while I should have
put a meter on it, I thought that little unit sold by OHR mentioned
by others would be worth having $51.05 including postage to

Yup, tried that - powered the K3 off, waited 30 secs, powered on and held the
Power button down until the red TX light comes on and MCU LD appears - still no

Ken,
Actually, since you have the P3 in place too, there are 5 possible
points of failure instead of 3. To what I mentioned before, add the P3
RS-232 'thru' path, and the RS-232 cable between the P3 and the K3.
Eliminate the P3 and the P3 to K3 cable by connecting the RS-232 cable
directly
I just built that RF load kit from OHR. Works as advertised.
At 150 MHz, the impedance is 50 + j2, which is pretty good for metal
oxide resistors. At HF, I can't measure any reactance but that's
probably due to the SWR meter.
The load is convection cooled (flow-through). Kit instructions

The S-line and KWM-2/2A cover the WARC bands if you put the right crystals
in. I can't speak for the KWS-1 since I don't have one ;-(

Hi, all.
I recently uncovered a bad solder on C41 that had been there from my initial
build some years ago. Now I get 4.1w on 40m and 2.7w on 20m--both much
higher than I've ever seen. I'd like to get more power out on 20m even if
it takes away from 40m. L2 is wound pretty tight so there

given me a few deer sightings. The hummingbirds, at least the first

Spreading or compressing the turns on the L1 and L2 toroids is the way
to do it. So, do whatever you need to to accomplish that. Actually, you
do not have to adjust all the turns, just move the end turns closer
together or further apart.

As I feared, the net was essentially wiped out by the WPX contest. We
struggled to get ten check-ins. The QRM was overpowering. We gave it the old
college try though.
