[Elecraft] K3 Firmware

[James Sarte]

Hi Lyle et all,

Sorry for the rapid-fire succession of email from me regarding this, but
I've found a way to replicate the issue.

I've noticed that when you reduce drive power so that the 10W amplifer is
inline, then increasing drive back up to 100W, only 50 watts will initially
be produced.  Whistling into the mic while this is happening will show the
output power slowly creep back up to the full 100W after a few seconds.

I've never had this problem until now. I do recall others describing similar
issues with firmware back in the 3.XX range.  Performing the TX gain
calibration does not fix the issue.
