[Elecraft] K3 Data mode power creep

[Bruce Beford]

I believe with DATA A mode you should be setting the input audio level to
get 4-5 bars of ALC, then setting the Power out on the rig for the power
level desired. If you do not have this level of ALC action, then the radio
tries to increase the gain to bring the level up. This may be the source of
your "power creep". Set the audio level first, with the rig in TX TEST mode
to get 4-5 bars of ALC, then set the PWR control to the desired output
level. Do not adjust the audio input levels to set your output RF power.
