How would one search the archives for this info?

Is this only the K3S, or does it also include K3?  How about a K3/10?

And you're saying one should never transmit with the transmitter set to 5W
(or 50W)?

I do drive an Alpha 8410 with my K3/10 -  and I've probably done so at 5W
out of the K3/10, although normally I'm using 12W.

I would appreciate a link to something that indicates this is a bad thing
to do.
