>From the K3 and K3S manuals:
Duty Cycle     CW and SSB modes, 100% 10-min. 100W key-down at 25 C ambient

I think this answers the question.

Subject: [Elecraft] Digital mode power handling for KAT3

Hello.  I recently bought a very nice K3 from a friend.  It has the KAT3 
auto-tuner installed.  Due to the duty cycle of most digital modes, most, if 
not all, external auto tuners are "de-rated" for digital modes.  I haven't been 
able to find any reference to this for the KAT3.  Does anyone know the power 
handling capability of the KAT3 for digital modes?

Thanks in advance.
