Hi Glenn,

Typically, the KX3 runs 5W to get 100W output from the KXPA100 (13 dB
gain).  There are minor varations due to calibration, but that's the
gist of it.

>Now in regard to the KX3 without the amp 2-3 watts is recommended for PSK31. What does 2 -3 watts driving the KXPA100 equate to for output power from the amp. I will be using the Elecraft cable set to integrate the amp. So from what I have read that means the PA menu is selected to on on the KX3. That means the power control on the KX3 is re-indexed. So does that mean it is safe to run in the 20-30 watt range with the amp without over driving the KX3 for PSK31?
