[Elecraft] K3 and JT65

[Kjeld Holm]

Hi Mike,

JT65 is one minute transmitting (or more exactly 50 seconds) and 1 minute
receiving. 

For other digital modes your transmission length is of course depending on
how much you want to "say" per transmission. 

See Owner's Manual on page 9. I am reading this as if it should be possible
to transmit for up to 10 minutes with full power. But I am not 100% sure.
Listen to the fan or check the PA temperature.

I am considering using my base model k3 (without KPA100) for digi modes and
was not sure what the duty cycle was for the rig? One of the modes I was
looking at was JT65 and it as I understand has long keydown times. Do I have
to keep the rig at 5 watts for all digi modes  and more so with the long key
down time of JT65 what power recommendations are there for that?MikeVE3WDM
