[Elecraft] K3: Wattmeter calibration procedure

[Wes Stewart]

Nate,

You might want to read this thread:

and then decide that trying to calibrate the wattmeter is counterproductive.

Hi All.

My new K3 is alive and well.  One thing has me stymied and that is the
Wattmeter calibration procedure.  I believe I've followed the manual's
prodecure to the letter each time but I'm confused about which menu
entry should be adjusted as the number on the VFO A line does not change
when TUNE is active.  What I have done instead is to press XMIT to kill
the carrier after reading the value on the Wattmeter and then setting
WMTR HP to the real Wattmeter value and pressing TUNE again to see that
the K2's Wattmeter and the external meter now each read 50 Watts.  If
that is correct, could this be made a bit more clear?   This had me
running in circles last night!
