[Elecraft] K3 power out - key down

[Steve]

I think some where my original question go lost.  Can the K3 operate key 
down at 100W's.
I did get an answer, yes - 120w for 24hr's...  So the answer is yes.

I complicated things by adding JT65 and that I operate at 0.5 to 2 watts 
with my KX3, but up to 20w with an IC-706.  Yes, if I am -25db at 0.5 
watts, I can/should up the power so the "guy" at the other end can hear 
me better.  Yes, it IS weak signal not low power...

The NAQP contest this past weekend was fun (I used the O2).
It has been a few years since I got the chance to operate a digital mode 
contest.
The great receiver in the O2 did fine and is why I would only think of 
replacing the O2 with a K3.

everyone have a great day!
