Every amp that I use I would overdrive with the Elecraft set at 100
watts. I am not familiar with the Quadra, I typically adjust the PWR
(power output) control to the desired wattage and have not had an
issue with any that that I have used. I see a lot of talk about using
ALC on the SPE Expert amp list. I have not used this brand and do not
why ALC appears to be recommend for them. I have not connected an ALC
cable in decades.

Yes. The Quadra produces is rated 1000 W output with approximately
60W drive. The K3 will overdrive it resulting in splatter/IMD and
potential damage to the transistors.

I'm not much of a QRO guy as you can probably tell.
Thanks in advance for your help 73
