On 160m, according to my Aston's meter, current drain is about 21 amps when key down @100W. That's several amps higher than other bands. If I run 100W CW for long, the rig kicks down to low power mode. SWR is 1:1.
I tried the TX calibration just to see what happens....No change. I had to reduce power to keep it from happening.
Also, a question about the K3's DISP of current. When key down, what is it displaying? It's showing about 5 Amps and I know that's not right. Can't find anything in the manual that tells the meaning.
