I would add the Elecraft amplifier designed for the K3 to upgrade to a K3/100. There aren't a lot of choices for amps that are designed for 10 watts in. You could go with any linear designed for higher power and just get less out driving with 10 watts. 73 - Mike WA8BXN

An external one may have a wider tuning range. If you plan to use the radio for portable operation the internal tuner is very nice to have, cuts down on what you have to carry, hook up and provide power to. 73 - Mike WA8BXN ---Original Message--- From: af6ni Date: 4/4/2011 8
