NW Illinois
What year & model of planter do you have?

I have a 2013 3500 8/15 and have had a simular issue that you are having, but mine only reads high when im planting 2,000 - 3,000 high. Tried a bunch of stuff to get population to read out correclty. I set the transmissiton to my desired population and tied up 2 closing wheels and planted about 50 foot. I counted 17.5' and the I came up with the 32 seeds in the 17.5'. Okay I know the planter is putting out what it is suposed to. Next the KPM III monitor. Dealer had mentioned maybe play with the calibration number so I did and I was around 81000 originally ended up changing that number to 76000 to get the monitor to read closer to what I was putting down. No since I changed the caluibration # im concered about the acres and speed being off. Im done planting now, but next year I will measure out the 330' and recalibrate and see if that helps.

So to answer your question try changing the calibration numer and see what that does. But definelty have the dealer get with Kinze on this issue.
