Hmm .. makes me wonder if a failed fan would
result in an error message and/or graceful power
roll off to protect the K3?
I have so much ringing in my deaf ear I never hear
the fans!

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.

I am thinking about replacing my ORION II with a K3 as it is smaller
(much smaller).
My OII will do RTTY (or JT65) at 100 Watts (with the fan option).
What will the K3 do? (I know it has fans, too)
I hear lots of comments about digital power out for the KX3 and
heatsinks...
I guess the question also goes for the 500 Watt amp, what will it do key
down?
btw, 0.5w JT65 is great fun with my KX3... but I also like to contest
at 100w.
