[Elecraft] K3, Elecraft Transverter K144XV-K

I too am very dissatisfied with my internal transverter and sent it to
Elecraft to be "fixed".  It returned with the comment that it was "operating
as expected".  I recall my range was about 4 watts, roughly 4 to 8 watts.
My need was for a max of 2 watts and that isn't going to happen.  I can't
believe Elecraft would produce a product that is implied to operate from .1
to 10 watts and then say this is acceptable.  It is only fair to believe
that this product would operate accurately and precisely as the HF portion
of this fine radio and all of their other excellent products.

Sorry for being disgruntled but this is one option I am sorry I bought.

    David> I have just measured my K144XV power output with an accurate
power output meter and find that with the K3 set for 1mW the output is
10.5W.  But setting the K3 to 0.1mW (fully counter-clockwise) the output
goes down to only about 7W.  No matter what I do, I am unable to reduce the
power further.
    David> It will be interesting to see if other K144XV users find the
same.

Mine doesn't go below 6W as measured with the W2.
