Hi
  Maybe some one can answer this.   I set my k3 to 60 watts and measure 60 watts on my kpa500 meter with the amp in standby trnsmitting into a dummy load.  When I switch to an antenna with a 3:1 swr the k3 still says 60 watts but the kpa500 now reads  80 watts  with the amp still in standby.   So which is correct  or neither ?
Thanks Richard
