[Elecraft] K3 SSB Power Control and ALC Metering

[dj7mgq at muenchen-mail.de]

Hi,

> Does this not happen to anyone else?

Re: a) -> I've never noticed this. But it might be occurring.

Re: b) -> I've seen my K3 do this. If I set the power in CW or Tune  
mode, and don't touch the power control, usually the power level will  
stay constant in SSB. With my K3 the problem appears to be worse at  
lower power levels (e.g. 30W) than at higher ones (e.g. 90W). In newer  
versions of the firmware there has been, imho, distinct improvement  
but not a total solution. I haven't had the time to update to very  
newest firmware yet and test it.

Elecraft has in the past said that they are working on this, so I do  
hope they will solve this in the firmware soon, assuming that it's not  
something else in the hardware. Up to now, it has been more of a quirk  
than a real problem for me.
