FWIW: I use my K3/KAT3 at 100 W in RTTY contests with no issues.  % derating could be a function of the complex impedance at the end of your transmission line ... my match on all bands is not terrible.

Hello.  I recently bought a very nice K3 from a friend.  It has the KAT3
auto-tuner installed.  Due to the duty cycle of most digital modes, most, if
not all, external auto tuners are "de-rated" for digital modes.  I haven't
been able to find any reference to this for the KAT3.  Does anyone know the
power handling capability of the KAT3 for digital modes?

Thanks in advance.

Ken, KJ9B
