[Elecraft] K3 TX power drifts upwards.

[Lyle Johnson]

Roger,

Be sure the MIC or LINE IN gain is set to give 4 flickering to 5 bars of 
ALC with your WSPR (or other DATA A mode) Tx audio applied.  The most 
common problem in running digital modes with the K3 is setting MIC/LINE 
IN gain too low.  This results in exactly the sort of "power creep" you 
desribe.
