My K3 100W ser. 1343 gets VERY hot on the underside where the PA transistors
are connected to the chassis. I´m testing at 100W FM into a dummyload for
about 3-5 minutes.
Is that normal?
The K3 isn't rated for 100W on FM or any other continuous duty mode,
according to the latest manual.
"*CW and SSB modes,* 100% 10-min. 100W key-down at 25 C ambient"
You must turn the power down on FM and AM or you will burn the finals up.
