[Elecraft] K3 delay on power output ssb

[Don Wilhelm]

  Mike,

That problem is usually the result of not enough audio into the K3.  Is 
the ALC meter lighting up 5 to 7 bars?  If not ---
To properly set the mic gain, first set the compression to zero (1:1),
Then use TX TEST so you don't emit RF and bother anyone.
Now adjust the Mic Level so the ALC meter indicates at least 5 bars and 
peaks up to 7.
That done, increase the compression as desired, and then turn off TX TEST

It will normally take a few syllables to come up to full power, but only 
a few.

73,
Don W3FPR
