[Elecraft] Watt Meter Behavior

My watt meter seems to behave strangely in SSB. I've run all the calibrations
and have it hooked to the Elecraft W1 watt meter and 50 ohm dummy load. When
set for 100 watts, I get 100 watts on both the K3 and the W1 on CW key down.
On SSB, the K3 meter regularly exceeds 100 watts, pegging the 120 lines
while the W1 peaks out at 100 watts. I've noticed this for several revision
of firmware. 

I also just downloaded verson 2.8 and tried setting the SMTR PK to ON, but
the peak reading doesn't seem to work anymore.

Anyone else have this experience?
