[Elecraft] K3, A calibration question

[Richard Fjeld]

(Sorry Don, the first one got sent to you instead of the user group)

Thanks Don, and Fred AE6QL,

Your answers suggest it has it's own regulation built in, which I didn't want to assume.   So, I should be able to ignore my key down voltage for this question.  (I do intend to beef up my wire gauge.) 

My K3 shows 15.4 amps at key down in CW at 100 watts with a P3 attached.  A dummy load was used.

How does that compare with your K3's, please?   

Rich, n0ce

  Rich,

  As long as the voltage is within the spec limits the answer is that no 
  additional calibration should be required.
