There is currently a known problem which is being worked on. An easy way 
to see the problem is to set the K3 power level at 40 Watts then 
transmit using Olivia 500/16, the power level peaks around 100 Watts and 
shows the peaks quite well on the K3 RF output scale.

What I suggest is that everyone wait for the firmware upgrade. I know
that they have already made significant changes in this area in the beta
firmware and may make more. So you can experiment now to get a baseline
for future comparisons, but be aware that it will *definitely* change.
