[Elecraft] K3/100 - High power problem

[Robert Mccormack]

Hi All,

Many thanks - yes PA NOR was and remains enabled but 12 watts is still maximum power available.
This K3/100 was delivering 100 watts before I commenced the CAL procedure - the only reason I took the top cover off was to find the FL1 offset, so nothing has been disturbed.

I've run out of ideas.<G>

Make sure the KPA100 option is installed and enabled. That sounds like it is
not (the basic K3 has a 10 watt transmitter). Suggest you look in the
Owner's manual and perform the procedures to enable and then test and
calibrate the KPA100. Likely that will point to the problem. 

Good luck!

While checking a K3/100 #4114 on behalf of SK estate, I find that the power
cannot be set higher than 12 watts.
Operation was normal until I commenced a CAL procedure to correct a 2kHz
difference between 'indicated' and transmitted frequency.

Checked all the menu functions but can't find any reference to power
limitation - searched the archives but no luck.

Any help is appreciated.
