Here, LP-100 shows 130W for the first few seconds when K3 is set to 100W on
SSB only. It seems to do it only after being turned on and during the first
transmission. Seemed to have been gone and coming with various releases. No
big deal here as my amp is 2 x 3-500Z.

My watt meter seems to behave strangely in SSB. I've run all the calibrations
and have it hooked to the Elecraft W1 watt meter and 50 ohm dummy load. When
set for 100 watts, I get 100 watts on both the K3 and the W1 on CW key down.
On SSB, the K3 meter regularly exceeds 100 watts, pegging the 120
Go to digikey or mouser and get panel mount LED's or sockets, and just
extend the leads from the module to the LED's on the
panel. They also have LED assemblies that have multiple LED's, just mix and
match to get the number needed. As for me, I just use
8mm tape cases to mount my mini-modules in.
OK, I can understand wanting a good reasonably
accurate watt meter. I can even see why there would be
interest ina QRPp meter... But can someone please
explain to me spending $1500 for a watt meter?

Not when there are such fine QRP capable meter kits out there. For a lot
less bucks.

I own the Alpha (87A) but instead I purchased the LP-100 digital watt meter
kit by N8LP. Just as accurate, at 1/5th the price, and it will match the
looks of my Alpha even better! Got to love the sexy PLED Display ;-)
