Subject: Re: [Elecraft] question K3 digital duty cycle power FT8
13 seconds of transmit, 17 seconds of receive = 43% duty cycle.
I use (rarely) less than 100 watts, all the way up to band legal limit.
With a K3, don't worry about it. IF the cooling become inadequate due
to local environment, it'll reduce output to protect itself.
