[Elecraft] KX3: Antenna disconnected while transmitting question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

None. Transmitting into a high SWR (such as no antenna connected) will
result in the power amplifier shutting down to protect itself as long as the
condition exists. 

Hook up an antenna or dummy load. You should see full power output.

Elecraft has gone to great lengths to protect all of their rigs from such
events.

Being a knucklehead, I tried transmitting briefly with RMS Express, and
forget to connect my antenna to the KX3. Transmit power was set to 15W. I
have the internal tuner installed. What's the likelihood that damage may
have resulted?
