[Elecraft] A couple of K3 Questions which kinda got lost

[Toby Deinhardt]

Hi Wayne,

a while before Dayton I asked and, with the amount stress you guys were 
in, understandably, didn't get an answer .... either that or I missed 
your answer.


1) A friend of mine with a big 160m station killed his RX front end 
because too much power was coming back on his beverages and the rig's RX 
antenna input was not grounded / disconnected during transmission by the 
transceiver.

Are the K3 antenna inputs which might be used for RX only antennas 
protected against too much power coming back via the RX antenna?


2) At our contest QTH when we work multi between some of the antennas we 
also have a lot of power coming back - roughly 20W in the worst case 
combination of beams and bands (without the extra band passes).

How strong is the RX front end of the K3? How much power can it handle 
without releasing its smoke?


 >> Does anyone know what the current ETA of the K3 manual is?
 > Late June at the earliest, Michael.

Need any proof reading done? ;-) ;-) ;-)
