Hi All,

I installed KPA3, turned it ON in CONFIG, but no way to Calibrate 50W Wattmeter.
Still stays in WMTR LP. Sticking pins are cut off on KPAI03 Board.
Out of K-3 only Low Power. KPA3 doesn't work.

Any advice, please.

I found that WMTR LP stays selected until you advance the PWR
control beyond 12W, then it shows WMTR HP. I hope that this helps.

Hi Stan,

if i did not missunderstand you, the KPA3 is not working.
If that is the fact i would first of all check for the settings.
A common issue with the config menu is to select  "io nor" instead of "nor"
to enable the kpa.
As a result you will not get beyond 12W...
