Jim,

Not sure why you feel the need for the SL with your K3 but that's up to you.

Anyway, no need for a dummy load with the K3.  Basically put the K3 in Test 
mode set the pwr to 30 or 40 or whatever you like, adjust the pots on the SL to 
show 4 bars of ALC with the 5th bar flickering, take the K3 out of Test mode 
and go for it!

GL,

Rick
