[Elecraft] New K3--CW QRQ Problem

[Michael Marx]

Hey all,

I just  built my new K3-100.  All seems to be fine except when I try to use CW QRQ mode.  When I select this mode, I only have about 5 watts of power output no matter where the power setting is.  Elecraft says that the CW QRQ mode has nothing to do with power output, yet I have the problem.  I am using the built in wattmeter and an external wattmeter.  When I switch CW QRQ off, the power comes back to full.  I did a reset at Elecraft's recommendation and it did not resolve the problem.  I also loaded the newest firmware (which it should have had anyway) and no solution to the problem.  Any ideas out there
