So I think it is right calibrated :-)

William,

Thanks for that clarification.  Connect the KPA100 to a good dummy load and
do the wattmeter alignment and calibration as indicated in the
KPA100 manual page 48 - see the SWR Bridge Null Adjustment and also the
Power Calibration sections.
You must do the bridge null before attempting the Power Calibration.

Don W3FPR
