Fw: [Elecraft] K3 no issues with output power on ssb!

[n4lq]

 Is the K3's wattmeter a "peak reading" type? If so, it only kicks up to
 about 50 watts until I increase the TXG VCE to 3 db which makes it double 
to
100 watts. So far, audio reports are good. Someone here reported distortion
 of some kind when doing this however. I really need a proper external peak
 reading meter to check this. Most of them I read about are not accurate. I
 might order the Palstar. It seems to have a good reputation.
