[Elecraft] K3 QRP output power level

The owner's manual spec page says that the output power of the 10-watt
version of the K3 is anywhere from 0.1 to 12 Watts. 

The power output of the K3 can be remembered per band if you choose the
"PER-BAND" value of the K3 config menu "PWR SET" setting.  In "NOR" the
power level on each band follows the present setting of the power control.
See page 55 of the K3 owner's manual revision D-1.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 QRP output power level

Hello all,

I am confused about the output level of the K3. What is the output power
level of the 10 Watt version of the K3?. Is it the same on all bands? Do I
have to reduce the output below 10 watts to avoid poor transmit intermod on
SSB?  I am asking this because I use my present K2 QRP radio to feed a
modified Toyko HP amplifier and I sure would like to get the same power
output when I use a QRP K3.  Any comments?

Thanks in advance
Rich W3ACO
