[Elecraft] Power pickup

[Steve Knell]

Hi All,

I've just finished my KPA100 amp and everything aligned/worked first time -
100W+ on all bands.

However, there seems to be a power "lag" when first keying up the radio from
switch-on.

i.e. there's no power output for the first couple of dits, then it bursts
into life.

I also see this when switching to/from kpa and bypass modes.

Does anyone else see this? - maybe it's normal - it only happens once each
time the unit is either switched on or switched in/out of bypass mode.

It's like something is charging or maybe slow alc action or something?
