I remember seeing a post in the elecraft reflector saying that it can do conintuous duty around 120W due to the dual large fans... Scan the reflector history to find that thread. jon w1jp 100w

I think it will, but would you really want to transmit 100W in a data mode? On 31/12/07 00:46, "Ed Steeble" <esteeble@...> sent: -- There is a coherent plan in the universe, though I don't

I can't find a definite answer to whether or not the K3/100 will do 100w in RTTY mode. Or does the power have to be backed off? Can it do 100w throughout a contest weekend? 73, Ed K3IXD

Thanksfor the pics Eric. It is always good to see you guys hard at work for usawaiting our K3s. Mike, N4GW

Here 's a link to some pictures of our test engineering group cranking out K3s. :-) http://www.elecraft.com/K3/elecraft_k3_test_lab.htm This should give you a feel for our test station set up. All of

David Congrats on joining amateur radio. I'm sure you will get lots of answers to your questions, particularly if you go to a local amateur club meeting. I'll give you my opinions - there're

David Welcome to ham radio. Your asking a big question that requires a conversation. If you wish give me a call or sendyour number and I'll call you on my dime. 73, Larry KW4A 423 365-4460

Hi, My name is David and I am new to this group and to amateur radio. I am planing on ordering a K3 for my first HF radio. Any recommendations on what "options" I should include with my order? What

in me says that the K3 is inferior to both in every respect as not one K3 radio is yet available for testing by an independent reviewer............ we are all on a promise until such time . I'll take

It certainly is, Rob, and it's happening in a similar way... dedicated hams with real world operating experience designing rigs primarily for hams. It is one of the best things about ham radio right

It's in German, it's rather preliminary but looks promising: <http://www.ovc12.de/system/files/dk4yj_k3_mess_1.pdf> English translation: K3 #00067 showed the following: 14MHz band, no preamp, 400

Just so that you can find at least one complaint: <joke> It is a terrible CW Radio. When I talk to it, it does not produce chopped wave, which should ideally sound a bit like Hummel, Hummel - Mors,

Hi Bob, Just read the complaints about CW support on the main Elecraft list (assuming you can find these complaints), compare these to similar postings about the other radios elsewhere. Everyone who

As a CW op, one parameter that worries me with the 'SDR' radios is the delay in the sidetone chain. This has been reported in a Peter Hart review in this months RSGB Radcom magazine as sometimes

Hopefully a K3 will pass through my lab in the near future. I only had 10 days to evaluate the Flex 5000A, but I also have a day job, and the hours spent with the Flex were less than ideal for the

Jack, It's been too long since I had to deal with analog microwave but the situation is very similar. The total applied power would be a good test. The test could also be done with two tones

Has anyone yet had the opportunity to compare them side-by-side? Thanks and 73 Steve WA2DTW
