Re: [Elecraft] (K3) Low output power on 15 meters (new KYSN related ?)

I have the same thing here, Bruce. Something in firmware was changed a while ago and when I reported it to Wayne, he said that it is within specs. 73, Ken K3IU ~~~ On 1/9/2016 11:09 AM, Bruce Meier wrote: Today I noticed that the output power on

This has nothing to do with the new synth. We're hoping to have another firmware release dealing with it soon. I've been working on other issues. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jan 9, 2016, at 8:09 AM, "Bruce Meier" wrote: > Today I noticed that the output power on 15 meters does

I noted a similar issue and found that increasing the power supply voltage a bit returned full output. I think I have about 14.2v at the rig in receive mode. This was before I updated the synths so I don't think it's related to that. Vic 4X6GP/K2VCO > On 9 Jan 2016, at 6:09 PM, Bruce Meier

I suppose "spec" would be about 1 dB or so. If so, then somewhere between 80 and 125 watts would be about right for a nominal 100 watt radio. I, however, didn't see and published spec for transmitter power in my K3S manual. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 1/9/2016 10:27 AM, Ken K3IU wrote: I have the

[Elecraft] (K3) Low output power on 15 meters (new KYSN related ?)

Today I noticed that the output power on 15 meters does not reach 100w. The max, according to the front panel meter reading, is 93w. So, I ran the transmitter gain calibration and it did not help. I decreased the power to 90w and it reached 90w, so I gradually increased the power and it is fine
