None. Transmitting into a high SWR (such as no antenna connected) will result in the power amplifier shutting down to protect itself as long as the condition exists.
Hook up an antenna or dummy load. You should see full power output. Elecraft has gone to great lengths to protect all of their rigs from such events. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thorpe, Jeffrey Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2016 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] KX3: Antenna disconnected while transmitting question Being a knucklehead, I tried transmitting briefly with RMS Express, and forget to connect my antenna to the KX3. Transmit power was set to 15W. I have the internal tuner installed. What's the likelihood that damage may have resulted?
