Notice that Graham mentioned that his 'peak reading meter' indicated 
overshoot, but that no overshoot was seen on an oscilloscope.
If your only indication is from a peak reading meter, that may be an 
anomaly of the meter and not any problem with the K3.
Most reports of 'overshoot' that I have read about on this reflector 
have been observed with some type of peak reading meter.
