[Elecraft] K3 Data Overshoot

Hi,

I have installed the latest firmware and notice the following:

At present I don't have PTT derived from the RS232 input and use VOX to 
trigger the TX.  I notice that if for example the power is set to 40W, 
when the VOX triggers there is a brief pulse of full power shown on the RF 
meter there after it falls to the requested power.  This is confirmed by a 
similar pulse and recovery in the output of the linear.

I'm using JT65A, the line in level is set to LINE 5, no ALC.  The level 
from my sound card is at first bar from off on the Windows volume control. 
The same happens even with some ALC bars activated.

I would be interested in what LINE "X" others are using.  Maybe I have to 
attenuate the level from the sound card and us a higher LINE "X" setting.

Can this be replicated?

This was not apparent until I installed the latest firmware.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
