[Elecraft] [K3] Will I Lose the 120 Watt Max If I update The Software?

[Robert Naumann]

What if he's running about 5kw out? This would make sense. 10% increase in
input gives you a 10% increase in output power.

This is of course ignoring the "dirty" signal you are producing.

You have a real problem with your amp if going from 100 watts to 110 
watts drive gives you a difference of 500 watts output from the 
amplifier.  Actually, the rest of us are the ones who have the problem 
with your amplifier if it really does that.  Do you realize the kind of 
distortion you must be putting out with that kind of non-linearity?
