K3 with internal 144XV 2 meter transverter

Bruce Osterberg
If the internal transverter is adjusted for 1.0MW output max, what power
should I see out of the rig at antenna connection 3?  RF power on Meter
shows full scale but that is in Milliwatts not watts.  Also display just
says ANT, not ANT 3 or should it.  Thank you.

GM,
I had the same question a month before (in another forum).

Output depends on gain adjustment with R87, see k3 schematic. Which seems to be set to full gain from factory side.
If so, the 1mW overdrives the transverter, so you should see full 10W on ant 3 only.

I used the Elecraft Dummy load for measurement and adjustment.

HW?
