Thanks Ed! Don’t know how this chain got so scrambled. I’ll run it be Elecraft too! 73, David, NS4V David R. Hourdequin, PE Specialty Heavy Timber Engineer Hayesville, NC 28904 828-421-6216 > On Mar 2, 2022, at 02:03, Ed Cole wrote: > > Tried what you suggested Gary. No joy. The upper

Tried what you suggested Gary. No joy. The upper limit with the PWR knob remains at 0.8MW. I can adjust downward but not upward. Need to get a good power meter on it and see what the actual output is. And, I?ll try the low-level power calibration process and see what happens. Thanks

Reference pp 49 of the K3 manul. Procedure to calibrate the “LP XVERTER WATTMETER” is presenter there. The “Power Meter” for the LP port is not a power meter in the general sense…. You will need a scope or meter capable of accurately measuring RF at the desired frequency.. de Ben W4SC.

Sounds like you should do the low-level power calibration using the K3 Utility. For now, you can increase the maximum, up to 1.5 mW, and presumably get the desired output. Gary NA6O > Using the Config Menu, I have set the drive level at the maximum for the > transverter at 1 MW. However,

[Elecraft] K3 drive level for Q5 Signal 432 Transverter

Using the Config Menu, I have set the drive level at the maximum for the transverter at 1 MW. However, when I check the drive from the front panel PWR knob it reads 0.8MW and I cannot adjust it any higher with the knob. Nothing I do seems to change the the PWR knob drive level. I am running

Re: [Elecraft] K3 drive level.

To all who responded, thanks. CONFIG: Power by Band fixed the standby power issue and a recal of the TX at 5 and 50W solved most of the rest. 73, -- Dick - K4XU __ Elecraft mailing list Home:
