Low-Power (5W) Watt Meter Calibration

[Bob-165]

Hi,

I just finish setting up another K3 and all went well, however, I was trying
to calibrate the Low-Power (5W) Tune power reading according to the manual
and I am not able to get the output up to 5W. According to the Bird Watt
Meter, it will only go as high as 4W, not a big issue, but wondering if
anyone can shed some light on this.

The 50 Watt calibration was not an issue.

Any input or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bob

  Do you mean that the K3 thinks the output level is at 5W but the Bird
thinks it is at 4W?  Or do you mean that the K3 and the Bird both think
the output level is 4W?

If the former, then you can do a calibration of the K3 wattmeter if you
are certain that the Bird is accurate. This procedure is described in
the manual.

If the latter (or something else!), then please contact support.
