[Elecraft] K3 psk D splater

[Adrian]

100w, no problem and clean including driving a good amp.
Sell the Kenwood and get another K3 that will handle it :)

Just to add to my original question  and this may come out when I test 
it using the other radio    How much power can you safely use with 
PSK-D.       I don't like to use much power to start with but in rare 
occasion a  little boost can help.   just curios how much boost can I 
make.

I will try the utility,  Kcomm and keying with the paddles.  but as 
you say there should be no difference.   I wont get to it tonight but 
will try sometime in the next day or two. and report my findings.    
My only worry is can I attenuate enough to run the K3 to near full 
power and not swamp the Kenwood to much.   probably a dummy load on 
both.
