[Elecraft] [K3] 1.0 Milliwatt Calibration

[Julian, G4ILO]

I was wondering why my 2m transverter was producing much less output than
when I set it up, so I thought that perhaps I should do the 1 Milliwatt
calibration procedure, which I never have done. I don't, unfortunately, have
an accurate RF voltmeter, but I do have an Elecraft DL1 and a DVM.

At 1mW requested power I measured 36mV at the DL1 test point, which
according to the formula (.036 x 1.414) + 0.15)^2 / 50 means I am only
getting 0.8mW out. Is it OK to use the DL1 and this formula at this power
level?
