I dont' know when it happened, but I can no longer get full power out of my K3
(s/n 1417 FW 2.58 DSP 1.94). Using the tune control, power out will not go
above 63 watts. I can do the TXGN calibration at 5W and 50W with no problem.
But if I turn up the power, the output never goes above 63W,
the 160m band into a dummy load with
the ATU bypassed and an indicated SWR of 1.1-1. I'm thinking that one of the
finals in the KPA3 has failed.
