K3_KSYN3A_Synthesizer

[Elecraft mailing list]

Anyone else having trouble with milliwatt TX gain Cal using the new synthesizer boardOr is it just me.Also on the RF power out only one bar is lite up.If I set power to 0 dbm (1 milliwatt) it only shows -12.0 dbm ( .06 mw)
Thanks

I just built a K3 (#8858) with the new synthesizer, and did the milliwatt
calibration without a hitch. I set it for 1.5 mw max output, but possibly
you did not crank the power up high enough when you started. I made that
mistake reading the power level and got low output.  I used a power meter
and am seeing 1.0 Milliwatt out on three transverter bands with the K3 dial
indicating 0 dBm.

Ken,

Go to the K3 beta firmware and download 5.13.  Yes, it is beta right
now, but it solves several problems and if no problems with it in the
next few days, it will be promoted to production status.

Sad to note that dual passband "focus/context" filtering is still in the
wilderness according to the release notes.
