[Elecraft] KPA-500 watt meter vs. Palstar

[Grant Youngman]

If you've run the TX gain calibration, and that worked properly, it sounds more like you have an actual load problem.  Which would cause high current. 

Is the high current warning happening both with a known good 50 ohm load connected to the K3 and with the antenna?

Other bands I can transmit at 100 watts and no high current warning. I believe that is because the watt meter I have been using is not accurate and the K3 may be putting out in excess at this power level displayed on the K3 meter and therefore the high current warning.
