[Elecraft] [K3] Power too high in PSK31 / SSB

[Rob May]

I worked some PSK today at 20 watts and it seems to be fine.  Just a couple of bars on the RF meter when I have the power dialed to 20 watts.  I running the latest beta (2.45) but I didn't have any problem with 2.38.  No compression, mic gain turned down so that the ALC just barely makes one bar.
