[Elecraft] Operator error?

[K6XX]

This probably has nothing to do with using RIT. 

The K3 takes a few seconds to recognize that the amp is on line and then respond by switching to the KPA500 power table.

Give the K3 slightly more time. Either swap the amp-On/RIT ON operations by enabling the amp first, use the amp's automatic ON>OPER mode, set your K3 per band power setting lower, or wait another second or so before sending the first dit.
