GM all,
not that I am one of those AM guys but just checked my K3 which produces 45W
on 160 and 40W on 80.
Maybe some set up trouble, Dave?

Wayne, the AM power level in this version only seems to produce a
carrier of 10 Watts when the requested power is "100W". While I don't
agree with the idea of calling the power anything other than the carrier
level, i.e. I would expect the power control to only go to about 30
Watts on AM, 10 Watts is only 1/3rd of the carrier power a 100 W nominal
transceiver should produce.

Back to the drawing board?

K3/100 #80
==========================================

* MORE ACCURATE AM-MODE POWER LEVEL. Also slightly higher modulation
percentage.
