A question on the P3 or actually the Tx Mon (K3)

[Elecraft mailing list]

Alan - is there any documentation available on the procedure for calibrating the Tx Monitor?

Hi Paul,

It's just a matter of adjusting the SensorCal menu setting until the
power reads the same as the device used for the calibration.  Of course,
that assumes the calibration device is more accurate than the P3.  :=)

The nominal calibration value is 500.  The intent was to make it
correspond to the same value as in a W2, but the match is not perfect.
For one thing, the P3 uses a more-sophisticated algorithm to match the
diode detector nonlinearity than the W2.
