K3 SSB average power output

DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL
Hmmm.

If I have my K3 set to 5.0 watts, my external watter shows ~3.5 watts
average and ~4.0 watts peak.  Changing the pitch of my voice (as
expected) also changes the power.  Those measurements are with a long
HELLO.

At 100watts set point, PEP = ~ 70watts and Ave = ~ 60 watts.

No, it's not like cranking in the PROCESSOR on my TS940 (which really
can "hang it up there"), but it's not 4 watts.

Obviously, YMMV
