[Elecraft] [K3] Power variations in K3 / 3.19

[James Sarte]

Wayne,

Could it be possible that the KPA3 upon initial key-down in sideband could
be oscillating for a second or two out of frequency?  If that's the case,
this could explain Bjorn's low-power out issue along with my SWR
alarm-tripping problem.  I've noticed that when my meter is set to peak
mode, when I key the microphone without talking, I'll see a burst of power
along with an increase in SWR for 1 or 2 seconds before it settles.  This
only occurs in sideband and not in any other constant carrier mode.

I'll be reviewing power-settling behavior  when I get a chance. Thanks  
for the report.
