3.19 lost 10 watts

KARL MARDERIAN
After loading 3.19 frimware into my K3, I no longer get 120 watts when  
denting power at maxium. I do get 12 watts on the low scale. I did  
recalibrate my Tx, 1 mw, 5 w and 50 w with dummy load.
  Anyone with the same? Amy insite?

Yes, that was an intentional change in the latest firmware. Please read
the release notes when (or before) you upgrade!

* MAX POWER LEVEL NOW 110 W (was 120 W): This is intended
to reduce the possibility of excess KPA3 operating current on some
bands. This might have occurred when using a high power setting
along with low power supply voltage and/or a high load SWR.
(Note: The recommended maximum power setting is still 100 W.)
