Hi Steve, The K3/100 has two fans. The KX3 has no fans. Apples and oranges.
I ran my K3 on 30 meters RTTY at 100 watts for 2 hours non-stop as an ARRL centennial station and had no problem. The fan just ramps up to a higher speed. I've also run JT65-HF on 6 meters at 100 watts with no visible problem but of course it's one minute on, one minute off. 73, Mike K2MK Stephen M.
