[Elecraft] K144XV output power range

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Stan,
 
I got 1-9 watt output on my Kuranichi meter.  I would suggest check the sitting of the TMP cables.  I once managed to deform the TMP socket by inserting the cable incorrectly.
 
Since that time, I open up the top cover of the K144XV to check the cabling whether I re-sit the K144XV into my K3 after dismantling.  In other words, I do all my cabling work with top cover opened and cover it after visual inspection.

TNX & 73,


Johnny VR2XMC

主題︰ [Elecraft] K144XV output power range

My external watt meter does not agree with the power output bar graph display
on the K3 except in the very middle of the power range.  While turning the
power control from 0.1 to 1.0 W., the bar graph shows the expected 1 to 10
display.  But my watt meter display goes from about 5.8 to 7.5 W.

Does my watt meter really suck, or is this a behavior that others have seen? 
The K144XV manual suggests that an upper value of 7.5 W is not unreasonable
given the accuracy of most meters.  But 5.8 W for a minimum output power
seems way too high.

Anybody have numbers to compare?
