No transmitter gain.

Hello again,

apart I do not get the transmitter gain on K3 Utility, doing the
transmitter gain on page 49 from Owner's Manual I get 0.0 watts in all
frequencies, however when I press ATU TUNE I get 5.0 watts.

Any help will be welcome.

Best 73.

David-
Have tried to adjust the WMTR LP or HP in the Config menu? I had
email Elecraft about using low power for QRP Contest and they advised me
to adjust this setting for low power. They told me that
the normal setting is 70 but to achieve what I wanted I have my WMTR LP
setting on 180 and my WMTR HP setting on 145. I did this because the
power reading from radio was not the same as what showed
on my external watt meter. Now they are pretty close. Not for sure if
this helps in your question but maybe.

Re: No transmitter gain.

Hello John and other Elecrafters,

tks for your email. I did what you advice me but no luck, still no power
except when use ATU, there is really 5 watts output, on XMIT no power in
all bands.

Best 73 to all.
