K3 50 MHz power knob behaviour
Locked

Hi dear K3 fans
I experienced something that I do not know wether is normal or not. 14 MHz band: Power knob 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12---> jump to --->>> 13, 14, 15 ..... and so on Watts. 50 MHz band: Power know 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 --->>> jump to --->>> 13, 14, 15..... and so on Watts. ¿what happens with 9, 10, 11 and 12 Watts? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance Ramiro. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

There is maybe some IMD issue on 50MHz in 9 - 12Watts range so
mentioned levels skipped intentionally. Try to go through archives... 73!

Hi.
there is info from May 04, 2008 ------------------------ We only allow up to 8 W with the lower-power amplifier stage on 6 meters to ensure plenty of headroom (i.e., low IMD). In an future firmware release we'll allow the high-power amplifier to cover the presently-missing range of 8-13 W. 73, Wayne N6KR ------------------------- GL&73!
