Werner,
I get similar results to you. This is using the LP-100A in peak 
hold mode, where the speed of it's response is very fast.

I need a COMP setting of around 20 to get the commanded 100W peak.

With my K3 into a dummy load and looking with a scope it is 
apparent that the peak RF signal changes by around 50% over the 
range of the COMP control.

This may be the effect of the ALC, but in a well designed system 
should not happen. The ALC should respond to peak not average.
