My K3/100 (S/N3050, factory assembled) was in trouble since a week ago.
When I transmit at >12W (means hi-power amp on) within 30min or so after power switch on, Hi-Temp alarm occurs and hi-power amp is shut down and forced to set 5W.
This phenomena stop when the equipment is well warmed up (about 30min or so after switch on).
Other rigs such as FT-2000D, IC-775DX2 have no problem at all even they are transmitted immediately after power switch on.
What's wrong on my K3/100?
I love CW. I enjoy both International Morsecode and Japanese Morsecode. As a non-native English speaker, CW chat by English language is a big challenge for me. But QRQ chat by English sounds very cool!

Elecraft's reputation in JA
The other day, the elecraft mailing list was hot about its reputation in JA. I don't know who in JA hams said such complain to US ham and how he/she could correctly explain situation in JA.
As far as I understand now after private discussion with JA dealer EDC's person the other day, their pricing of elecraft equipment is resonable. The reason explained by Eric in the mailing list was almost correct.
If Elecraft wants competitive business in JA, Elecraft should decrease its wholesale price to EDC drastically like KenYaCom do in US.
