[Elecraft] TUNE before power?

[Don Wilhelm]

Ramon,

I suggest that you calibrate the wattmeter, and then use K3 Utility to 
calibrate the transmit gain.  Yes, you can do the TX Gain calibration 
"by the manual", but the K3 Utility does it automatically - just sit 
back and watch as ot changes bands osn goes through the calibration 
procedure - just like manual, but without the button pushing.

It is as if I had to "prime" the radio to enable full power output. I do not have the Auto Tuner installed but my antenna is reasonably flat in the bands where I have been using the radio. After "priming" the radio transmits fine in SSB. Any suggestions?
