[Elecraft] [KX3] JT65 and JT9 possible TX issues

[Bob Towers]

I was interested to read contributions on this topic.

I recently had my first few JT65 QSOs on 20m using my K2/100. I set the 
power level to 5 watts and was astonished to hear the fan at the back of 
the K2 come on in the middle of a TX session. The heatsink coped pretty 
well and no one complained of drift, so JT65 QSOs were entirely 
possible. Had I increased the power to 10 watts, I suspect there may 
have been problems.

As far as I'm concerned, JT65 is a weak signal mode and in my book even 
5 watts is probably too much!
