[Elecraft] Delay in RF/Audio output on my K3

[Adrian]

This was one of the things that used to always annoy me about my K3 until;

I set it up for 15v with a heavy duty cable to replace the factory supply
cable.

Now I get full power at instant on turn on, all day long.

I think it is the current sensor knocking back the power until things settle
down, but at a stiff 15v
everything plays nice. I never see high current warnings like I used to
either.

The 15v HD cable setup I implemented fixed every aspect of K3 problems I did
not like.

Subject: [Elecraft] Delay in RF/Audio output on my K3

I've started to notice when I first turn on my K3/100 (#6131). there appears
to be a delay in reaching full RF output. I start calling a station and
notice almost no RF or audio but after a minute or so, the power is full
scale and the Audio level is working fine. Any suggestion why this may be
happening?? I have several microphones and it happens with all of them. It
does not happen on CW.. Just SSB.

Thanks in advance..
