KX3 wattage

JP Douglas
Hi all!

While having a QSO yesterday from my mobile to a QRP station on 20 meters, the gentleman I was chatting with mentioned that the KX3 now does up to 20 watts of power. Never heard this before and wondering if it's true, currently my KX3 does up to 15 watts. I use my KX3 mostly for digital modes; winlink and fldigi but do try voice w/it once in a while.

Thanks and 73 de Jose Douglas KB1TCD, Midcoast ME

That gentleman is mistaken unless something happened while I was not
watching, the KX3 does up to 15 watts.

If I use a large power supply and turn the KX3 on its side and shake it - I
still only get 15 watts according to my Tird meter (Trusty ole Bird).
