[Elecraft] Problem Tuning K3

[David Gilbert]

No, that isn't true at all.  FT8 is indeed a WEAK SIGNAL mode, but in no 
way is it limited to low power ... other than the key down capability of 
the rig, of course.  I've used a KW on FT8 on 160m to work Japan and the 
rest of SE Asia in spite of the 2,000 foot high mountain that sits less 
than two miles away from me in direct line to that area.  When using 
high power on FT8 you want to make sure you have a very clean signal, of 
course, but it's a complete fallacy to think that it is strictly a low 
power mode.
