I'm active in WSPR mode, which is a single tone as well. Mode = "DATA A", ALC = 4 bars, PWR = 5W. An external wattmeter shows an absolutely steady power throughout the entire 2-minute TX cycle. The bottom cover just underneath the LPA gets pretty hot, but at 5W the KPA3 is bypassed. Will run a test at higher power to see whether or not it makes a difference. 73, Markus HB9BRJ -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Power-Output-tp3563445p3565519.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
