Hi, Ed: The K3 Owner's manual Specifications page has the data:
TX: 17-22A typical for K3/100, 3-4A typical for K3/10. RX: 0.9A (subreceiver off). As they say, that's "typical". My K3 draws no more than 17 amps on any band at 100 watts output, well within the normal operating parameters of my Astron 20A (16 amps intermittent, 20 amp peak). Conservative as always, Elecraft does recommend a 25A 13.8 VDC supply. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward R.

I tried to find the specs on the current draw in Rx and TX, but no joy. Why aren't these specs listed on the data sheet? 72, Ed, WA3WSJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
