The {beta}-decay Q{sub EC} values of the superallowed beta emitters {sup 26}Al{sup m}, {sup 42}Sc, and {sup 46}V have been measured with a Penning trap to a relative precision of better than 8x10{sup -9}. Our result for {sup 46}V, 7052.72(31) keV, confirms a recent measurement that differed from the previously accepted reaction-based Q{sub EC} value. However, our results for {sup 26}Al{sup m} and {sup 42}Sc, 4232.83(13) keV and 6426.13(21) keV, are consistent with previous reaction-based values. By eliminating the possibility of a systematic difference between the two techniques, this result demonstrates that no significant shift in the deduced value of V{sub ud} should be anticipated.
