Julie,

The KX3 power in CW and data modes is *not* limited to 5 watts (except when running it on internal batteries). I believe the solution to your problem can be found in the TUN PWR menu parameter - see page 40 of the manual. The power level set there will be transmitted when you do a TUNE (not an ATU TUNE). Yours is most likely set to NOR for which the TUNE power is the same as the power knob.

TUNE will send a carrier (CW) no matter what mode the KX3 is set to.

We will eventually have the Elecraft tuner for KX3 when it ships, but for
now what selection of modes & power etc on KX3 would give me the
highest-wattage signal for the autotuner?  If I understand it correctly, PSK
and CW are limited to 5 watts by the KX3, right?
