So I reran the 5 watt calibration and found that I have 5 watts on EVERY
band.
It receives on EVERY band 10MHZ sounds good and strong.
Redoing the tests as before I found the 3.5MHz band DID transmit and
receive OK.
BUT the 10MHz band still has minimal output.
I sometimes has to conduct tests a few times before I get an absolutely
consistent view of whats going on.
So thats where I am - I would like to get TX working on 10MHz band, I
dont use it often but I still want it working if possible.

charset="utf-8" Hi Andy, What is the receive sensitivity like
on those affected bands? The 3.5 MHz and 10 MHz bands share no common
components in either the bandpass filter or lowpass filter sections.
Those are usually the first line of investigation for band specific lack
of output power. If those bands have poor receive sensitivity, I would
check the relays on the bandpass filters for those bands first to be
sure that you have connectivity through the filter. The 3.5 MHz filter
also is used on 160 meters with additional capacitors switched into
place, and the 30 meter filter is shared with 20 meters using the same
arrangement. Please let us know what your find in receive mode on each
band. Thanks, and 73, ? Mike, K8CN ------------------------------

charset="iso-8859-1" Another thought, Andy, after I re-read
your post on this topic. The K3 permits per-band TX power control. I
wonder if you inadvertently got into that mode on 80 and 30 meters? It
is easy to check in the menu system. That would be much easier fix than
looking into the bandpass filter bank. 73, Mike, K8CN
