Something doesn't make sense. The K3 is 10 years old and is better than an SB-102? --- ok, I get that part.  

As to the legal limit thing, perhaps the legal limit will be reduced to 100 Watts or so ;-)

Seriously. The K2/100 is ten-year-old technology. Yet it has way more functionality for its size and weight than transceivers that are ten or twenty years older.

With advances in component miniaturization and material science, it will eventually be possible to have a legal limit rig with PS and ATU all in a package the size of the K3.

Guy, K2AV
The biggest blocks to tiny power supplies of the kW plus variety, are
core materials for the power supply devices and super conductive heat
sinks.  There already is stuff not ready for prime time at that power
level, but the day is coming.  73, Guy.
