[Elecraft] Elecraft] K3 Power calibration and current consumption

2009-02-26 Thread Ken Kopp
Hi Ken, Thank you for responding Wayne. There isn't any "100 W calibration" on the K3. All gain calibration is done at 5 and 50 W (and optionally 1 mW if you have a KXV3). These are the points we picked do the cal, and the firmware then extrapolates from there. So, how accura

Hi Ken, With my K3, I only performed the 5W and 50W calibration. When I set the RF level to 100W, the output of a constant carrier signal into a dummy load matches my external meters without issue. I did not have to do anything else other than to calibrate at 5 and 50W. There is no mention in t

I may well be the only one "caught" by this, but be sure that the TRANSMITTER GAIN procedure on pages 49 and 50 of the manual has been done, but also include the 100W level. IMO, the first paragraph under WATTMETER on page 49 should read "... 5 W, 50 W , 100 W (K3/100 only) etc. If you
