[Elecraft] K3 - 2.73/1.98 Clicks on Power On

[Iain MacDonnell - N6ML]

I'm even getting a very loud blast of noise when I power on on 80m band
with no signal. I'm pretty sure the problem is that the AGC hasn't
activated yet. If I turn the AGC off, I get the same level of noise as
the blast on power-on.

This started with one of the recent firmware updates.
