I have the 100 watt version, but when the rig changes over to low power I can hear a relay click. If I check the power out with the Control software of the W2 my output is 11.9 watts. Some rigs may be different. My voltage drops to 11.5 volts from 13.2 with the key down due to a long power cord from my voltage source to the K3. I suspect the output would be higher if the cord were shorter or heavier. When I am operating on 30m and feel like I need the full 200w there I set the power on the K3 at around 3 watts. Driving my Alpha 87A with that power gets me 200w on 30m. 73, Tom, N5GE [email protected] K3 #806 with SUB RX, K3 #1055, PR6, XV144, XV432, KRC2, W1, 2 W2's and other small kits 1 K144XV on order http://www.n5ge.com http://www.swotrc.net >I presently have a K2 with 15 to 17 watts out.
