I don't use that mode and generally run no more
than 40 watts on PSK31 with the K3.
But this statement below "The K3/100 has two fans.
The KX3 has no fans. Apples and oranges." made me
wonder if fan failure could be an issue with the
K3/100 -- and one which might affect those running
less than 100 Watts.

Just how many people are running high power on
low power modes like jt65?
I work the world with 10 watts.

result in an error message and/or graceful
power roll off to protect the K3?
I have so much ringing in my deaf ear I
never hear the fans!

Hi Steve,

I ran my K3 on 30 meters RTTY at 100
watts for 2 hours non-stop as an ARRL
centennial station and had no problem.
The fan just ramps up to a higher
speed.
I've also run JT65-HF on 6 meters at 100
watts with no visible problem but
of course it's one minute on, one minute
off.
