[Elecraft] Problem with power output

[Wolfgang Schwarz -DK9VZ-]

Hi

we just ended in the IARU Region I SSB Fieldday
There was a strange behavior of my K3 which I don?t know from the 
CW-Contests
where I normally take part.

When transmitting 100W into a non 1:1 SWR the K3 reduced output power.
That o.k. and normal.
After the external symmetrical tuner hits SWR 1:1 the power stayed down at
30-40 watts with the power display showing 100W. We had to go back with
the power knob to "Zero" and then back again to 100W to reach 100W again
This problem did only show up in SSB not in CW.

Is that normal? or is it a firmware bug?

I?m using a K3/100 (S/N 2702) without KAT3 tuner (but it is already ordered)
and I?m also using the newest beta software v3.30
