[Elecraft] K3 - TX gate issue

[Terry Price]

Has anyone else noticed some distortion using the tx gate option? I heard it
on a friends' K3 and tested it on mine, while listening on headphones and
the monitor on, after each word or syllable, I hear some distortion or
"crackling" noise. It seems to be when the setting is at 13 or above. I've
heard it on 3 different K3's of different vintages but all running 3.19.
