[Elecraft] K3 AM Power Setting: Was (no subject)

[Jim HaRRIS]

First let me apologize for sending out the first message without a subject. 
My mistake.

I appreciate all the responses to my questions.  While Grants information
below sounds reasonable and may well be correct I would like to see
something in the manual about how the AM power setting functions.  It does
seem unusual that I set 25 watts with AM mode selected and received a 56
report from 1200 miles away.  That would mean that slightly over six watts
was actually transmitted.  

Specifications of many other radio's speak of 25-40 watts for AM.  The
specifications and owners manual for the K3 does not address the details of
AM power.  And, I might add the same for FM.  I would like to see Elecraft
staff address this so there is no misunderstanding.
