100w, no problem and clean including driving a good amp. Sell the Kenwood and get another K3 that will handle it :)

I don't like to use much power to start with but in rare occasion a little boost can help. just curios how much boost can I make. I will try the utility, Kcomm and keying with the paddles. but as you say there should be no difference. I wont get to it tonight but will try sometime in the next day or two. and report my findings. My only worry is can I attenuate enough to run the K3 to near full power and not swamp the Kenwood to much. probably a dummy load on both.
