[Elecraft] What's the K3/10 actual TX power?

[Don Wilhelm]

Kieth,
You state that like it has been a major problem with your K2.
If your K2 does not have greater than 10 watts on all bands, it needs 
some attention. 
Yes, the *maximum* K2 power will change from band to band because of the 
gain vs. frequency characteristics of the active devices.  In general, a 
proper working K2 will deliver the greatest power out on 40 meters, but 
some others peak on 80.  On those bands, I expect a K2 to deliver 15 
watts at the maximum power setting.  If you set the power request 
control to 10 watts, the power should level out to 10 watts on all bands.

I know that does not answer about the K3, and I don't have mine yet to 
give input, but I do expect the K2 power control will be in smaller 
steps than the K2, and yes it should deliver at least 10 watts on all 
bands - if it goes up to 15 or 16 watts on *some* bands, that is not a 
problem.
