Coming back on-topic, a feature for the K3 that could be very helpful in
setting RF output and compression levels would be a peak-holding RF
output meter (for SSB only, just like the CONFIG: SMTR PK option). Or is
it already there and I missed it?

Yes, that is very good Ian, may I just add that on CW similiar problems can
occur.
Two important steps to be taken are:
- Use proper timing when running a power amplifier. The K3 TD delay can be
adjusted to cope with most modern amp?s thus avoiding hot switching (and key
clicks)
- Never use any more drive power than needed.

Those two steps reduce key clicks.
