[Elecraft] K3 on AM with AL811H amplifier

[Hector Padron]

Good morning Ted,let me tell you something,since the very first day I got my K3 serial 2192 I have been using it on AM on 40M with guys who work on 7180,I use it with my AL-80B,when I key up the K3 puts out 40W and that makes 400W out of the amp and when I talk it swings up  to 1KW,the TX modulation percentage its about 90 to 95% and the reports from the old timers using vintage radios is great always,some guys says look that I am using a big boat anchor AM station,in fact there was a guy who loved it so much that he was asking which company made the K3 because he wanted to have one.
Without a doubt a K3 is an all mode perfect radio to own,73

Just thought you'd all like to know that I have been getting GREAT AUDIO  
reports from running K3 #1717 on AM, into an AL811H amplifier driving the amp 
to  about 125 watts carrier.  Connecting the K3 to the amp was as simple as 
plugging in the relay cable and the coax.

Running AM and using the sync detection on AM surpasses even my old boat  
anchor AM receivers.  For me, the K3 is the true all purpose radio.
