Mark:
The K3 is rated at 100 watts so why in the world would you want to mess
things up with its spectral purity by running it at a higher power level.
Nobody will ever notice a bit of difference in your signal strength between 100
watts or 120 watts. This is like running an engine that is rated at say 4,000
rpm but you want to run at 5,000 rpm. The excellent specs on the K3 are
garanteed at the 100 watt level so please don't overdrive it unecessarily to
the 120 watt level and give an excellent radio a bad name. If you feel that you
want more power then invest in a linear amplifier.
Just my 2 cents.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 for Field Day at 120W
Is there any problem with running my K3 on CW at 120W for the 24 hours of field
day? It will be in a semi air conditioned trailer. I'm trying to give all the
CW ops in my ham club the opportunity to work the K3 on CW during a contest.73,
