What's the K3/10 actual TX power?

[Darwin, Keith]

Yea, I know, 10 watts.  Or is it like the K2 where it gives 8 watts on
some bands and 15 on others?  If so, what is it on 40 meters?

The rating itself is 10 Watts.  In practice, it's 12 Watts if the SWR
is reasonable.  Seems to be the same on every band.

Kieth,
You state that like it has been a major problem with your K2.
If your K2 does not have greater than 10 watts on all bands, it needs
some attention.
Yes, the *maximum* K2 power will change from band to band because of the
gain vs. frequency characteristics of the active devices.  In general, a
proper working K2 will deliver the greatest power out on 40 meters, but
some others peak on 80.  On those bands, I expect a K2 to deliver 15
watts at the maximum power setting.  If you set the power request
control to 10 watts, the power should level out to 10 watts on all bands.

I know that does not answer about the K3, and I don't have mine yet to
give input, but I do expect the K2 power control will be in smaller
steps than the K2, and yes it should deliver at least 10 watts on all
bands - if it goes up to 15 or 16 watts on *some* bands, that is not a
problem.
