[Elecraft] K3 Mic Gain vs ALC

[Roy Morris]

Hello Don,
The low SSB peak power output (approx, 50%) when Tune puts out full power is a textbook case of what I have found.  I can also confirm your other findings (ie., the 100 watt SSB spike at beginning of transmission).  I am surprised more people haven't noticed this.  I have emailed Wayne who apparently is working with Lyle Johnson on this problem.   Lyle is working on a firmware change to correct this.   Roy Morris  W4WFB  K3 #323
