I'm trying to reconcile this advice with our experience running QRP field day. We frequently have two or 3 K3s on a single band (CW, SSB, Digital/GOTA). We use batteries and solar cells since our site does not permit generators. When the radios are being fed from a charged battery or a battery being charged from the solar cells, we don't have a significant problem with interference between stations. (Antenna placement helps a lot too.) When the voltage drops, the complaints increase.

Of course, our 5 watts is quite a bit below the full power of the low power RF amp in the K3.

Reducing the power by 25% will improve IMD performance at lower voltages, yet that power difference is virtually impossible to detect on the H.F.
