[Elecraft] FW: K3

[David Wilburn]

If you are operating in a mode, and output power does not seem to be 
where it should, and then you press and hold XMIT, putting it in Tune 
mode.  Release it, I do this by tapping the PTT foot switch.

If you now go back to your previous mode and get expected output 
power, this was fixed with a firmware release.  I experienced it with 
SSB.  Once I pressed Tune, then back in SSB the K3 performed as expected.

Take a look at the beta software release notes on the site.  You can 
do this without loading the software.

My agc settings vary for different modes, but just say on PSK i run the AGC to one line below max for the threshold. I am using the Computer sound card into the line in line out... It works fine when i go to CW and key the radio and get the full power out then it i will do the full 100+w on data... hope this explains it a little better..
