[Elecraft] Erratic transmit power -- ALC oscillating?

[Don Wilhelm]

  Bob,

One thing that I failed to add, and might be a concern to you at first.
It is normal for the K2 to take 2 to 3 dit times to come up to the full 
requested power after a change in the power knob setting, a change in 
bands or a power on.
