Thanks, Don, as I suspected (kind of).
Of course in CW PEP=carrier power and makes
sense. I never really *asked* this question
before as I always had nice reports on my
SSB. Gives me confidence running my new
*expensive* LDMOS kilowatt amps on 144 and 1296
plus my old-school 16 NLA transis
Ed,
The power you request with the power knob is the PEP level that the K3
will control. That is regardless of mode.
The K3 compensates for the mode automatically.
The same should be true of the transverter output.

Since the K3 operates so differently (than traditional radios) for
proper modulation I thought I'd ask this:
In olden days amplifiers were rated in PEP typically as 2x average
(or CW) power, so for AM one had to set carrier at 1/4 full carrier
output to stay linear. (1/2 carrier for SSB).
