[Elecraft] K3 and AM

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

One important note - Like most ham rigs, the K3 is officially specified 
at 100W. While the control turns up to 120W, and most rigs will go above 
above 100w, they will not make that power level on all units on all 
bands. Above 100W it is not guaranteed to meet all specifications.
