[Elecraft] Any K2/100 CW/SSB users with an Oscilloscope?

[George, W5YR]

Don't have a K2, et al, but sounds like your ALC is not functioning. With
proper ALC action, the r-f envelope on SSB should not - actually could not
- exceed the power limit set for CW operation. I am speaking in terms of my
non-Elecraft radios since I have not looked at a K2 output with a scope, as
I do with my other rigs.

Hope this is of some help but my lack of experience with Elecraft equipment
is showing! <:}
