K3 Output levels

[Harry Price]

Hi,

I asked this question here before but no one anawered it. Maybe it was considered a dumb question.

Can the power output level of the K3/100 be individually programmed for different bands? For example to accomodate a low drive level 6M amplifier. I doubt it but thought I would ask as I cannot find anything in the literature on this.

It would be nice so that when you QSY'ed for a 6M band opening you would not over drive your 6M amp in the excitement.

Harry,

You could develop a macro for this and use it in Command Mode with the
K3 Utility.  Command Mode is a very useful facility for this sort of
thing.

Currently, power level sticks across bands and you'd have to reset it
by hand for 6m, or develop a standard set of macros to preset power
level, mode, Lo/Hi, etc. for given bands of interest.

No at present, it just remembers the last power setting regardless of band
