[Elecraft] KPA 500: Does yours need time to warm up?

[tomb18]

I noticed that my KPA500 does not always give the full power that it is set
for.  For example, if I turn it on,put it in operate and then transmit my
call sign (in a pile up), the first few transmits are lower in power (around
50-100 watts) and it takes 7 or 8 of these before the power gets to 500W.
If I then continue for a while searching for another station, the same thing
can occur.

Has anyone seen the same thing?
Thanks, Tom VA2FSQ
