[Elecraft] K3 + SDR-IQ and regular CW operation

[KD7YZ Bob]

Howdy K3' people:

I was wondering what precautions are taken, or I need to invoke, when I
use any form of transmitting?

At present, the SDR-IQ is connected to the K3's IF BNC. K3's output is
through KAT500 then outside to the antenna some distance away at 80 to
85 feet AGL. Power, while I am testing, is circa 5 to 10 watts.

So I keyed the K3 a few times; called CQ, and so forth. I see my own
trace on the WF of CW-Skimmer, which is set to operate with SDR-IQ as
its "Input" .

Am I golden? Or am I about to overload the K3 and kill it?

thanks
