[Elecraft] [K3] Auto power cutback if high SWR?

[W5UXH]

In the K3/100, what happens if I accidentally key into an open or short
circuit, or less drastically into a relatively high SWR (e.g. 5:1).  Is
there an automatic power cutback?  Or do I just get HI CUR / HI SWR warnings
but no automatic protection from my dumb errors.  

If it is the latter case, how "dangerous" would an open circuit be?  I have
been known to think I was on the dummy load switch position when it was
really an open circuit position.  I have also keyed into a shorted coax
going to a dummy load.  (Not yet with the K3, it is brand new.)

I have tried to search the forum and the manual to find a discussion of
this.  Probably right under my eyes. 

Thanks,

Chuck, W5UXH
