I use (rarely) less than 100 watts, all the way up to band legal limit. With a K3, don't worry about it. IF the cooling become inadequate due to local environment, it'll reduce output to protect itself. 73, Rick nk7i On 5/21/2023 12:43 PM, AB2E Darrell wrote: > Hi all, > I'm leaving for VP9 on Wed, and taking my trusty K3. > A little time will be devoted to FT8 so my question is what is the duty cycle > for running FT8 on K3? > I've read a couple old posts about PSK, so I'm wondering what the group is > doing. > How much power out are you running the K3 on FT8 without overheating etc? > > 73 > Darrell AB2E (portable VP9 from 24-29May) > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home:https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.qth.net%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Felecraft&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2FllNnOVf4U4E0sAK1vzBnHxnx4Xhpvh8BMPBVrmKTWk%3D&reserved=0 > Help:https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.qth.net%2Fmmfaq.htm&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=HD6iYUA6hapv3F0AbXvDwmUyEi4MUR2sN5aGxOkYctc%3D&reserved=0 > Post:mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted > by:https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qsl.net%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CKFz%2FsWJ%2BTLtAsY5mbUspAyOHsg%2FHpoMF0PdCEkVC8U%3D&reserved=0 > Please help support this email > list:https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qsl.net%2Fdonate.html&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5KnZxmrX4T2B9KQRQTaw9x%2BAg6%2BdEKuI1DvfyU2oV%2BQ%3D&reserved=0 > Message delivered torick.n...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.qth.net%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Felecraft&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2FllNnOVf4U4E0sAK1vzBnHxnx4Xhpvh8BMPBVrmKTWk%3D&reserved=0<http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft> Help: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.qth.net%2Fmmfaq.htm&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=HD6iYUA6hapv3F0AbXvDwmUyEi4MUR2sN5aGxOkYctc%3D&reserved=0<http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm> Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qsl.net%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CKFz%2FsWJ%2BTLtAsY5mbUspAyOHsg%2FHpoMF0PdCEkVC8U%3D&reserved=0<http://www.qsl.net/> Please help support this email list: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qsl.net%2Fdonate.html&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cdcc0c530d6be49a2640d08db5a3af8f2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638202981553267406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5KnZxmrX4T2B9KQRQTaw9x%2BAg6%2BdEKuI1DvfyU2oV%2BQ%3D&reserved=0<http://www.qsl.net/donate.html> Message delivered to a...@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
