I thought I was clear, but apparently not. It is 100% duty cycle for 13
seconds, and zero for 2 + 15 seconds. "Duty cycle" is all a function of
what period of time you choose to integrate over. Lots of components if
heavily over stressed can go south in 13 seconds. Whether that is the
case with the KAT3 is unspecified as far as I can tell.

If I did my math correct, FT-8 is 46.42% duty cycle. 13+15 = 28.
Therefore (13/28)*100= 46.42%

text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed FT8 is definitely full duty
cycle for its 13 second transmit period, but of course then it is
idle for the last two period and idle for the 15 seconds it is
receiving. Dave?? AB7E
