Power meter

Can anyone suggest a good power meter to calibrate the K3

Joe the power meter in the K3 comes calibrated from the factory. If you
feel the need to calibrate it then you will need a fairly high
specification meter. The factory calibrated LP-100A is pretty useful...
I have my LP-100 in series all the time these days, it shows up the poor
ALC control of the K3 on SSB where the peak power is quite variable...

Joe,

To calibrate the K3 power as indicated in the manual, only a good dummy
load is required, not an external wattmeter.
If you want to do something more, then you may want to take a look at
the LP-100 meter.  Larry offers a service to calibrate an assembled kit
for free (other than cost of shipping), or he has assembled and
calibrated wattmeters for sale.  Take a look at http://www.telepostinc.com/.

Hi Joe,
The last I heard, Elecraft uses the Telepost LP-100 Vector Wattmeter to
calibrate factory assembled K3's.
Reasonably priced, very flexible meter available in kit form or factory
assembled & calibrated.
