Dick,
My experience operating K3 at temperature of minus 10C shows that there
were no noticeable drop of output power. I did not test it at lower
temperatures.

Igor and Ed,
I found your posts interesting. Thank you both.
The original thread was about a K3 operating in the cold below freezing
temps, and reduced power was observed. I think the question was asked if
we could answer why.
Someone posted with a question if the battery was cold. That may have
been pertinent.
I was curious. I posted about what I had been taught years ago
concerning solid state circuit design. As of those designs, it is my
understanding that solid state radios will have reduced performance in
cold temps.
I'd like to know if this is true with designs today. Perhaps you, and
others, will post some findings on this question as you operate in the
cold.
(Most radios today, have LCD screens and that will hamper the findings.)
73,
Dick, n0ce
