[Elecraft] K3- Higher Power on Transverter bands??

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Hi Roger,

I should have twigged that you were using a K3 not a K2, so many thanks to 
Bruce N1RX for his comment.

The low power drive solution would be the best option IF you had the time, 
provided of course that the IMD contributed by any additional amp if 
required in the transverter was insignificant.

Good luck this weekend!
