[Elecraft] K2 ALC Problem?

[Gary D Krause]

I've had this problem for a while and forgot about it since I work mostly CW. 
 Thanks to everyone that answered my KPA100 message.  The ALC works fine on 
the bands above 40 meters but, on 40 it isn't very aggressive.  I will get 
four or five bars on voice peaks and then the audio will cut out a little at 
10 watts as the bars go back down.  If I increase power to 15.2 watts, the ALC 
becomes more aggressive and only shows a max of two bars.  It's a little 
better on 80 meters.  What bothers me is the audio cutting out while there is 
a delay as the bars dissappear.  Is this normal?

Thanks,
