[Elecraft] Power Question for the Experts!

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Yes, this is a bug introduced by the recent firmware that reduces the
ALC update rate in RTTY (FSK).  I complained of it during the beta but
it was not addressed prior to releasing that "fix" in the public
firmware.  The solution is to briefly hit "TUNE" when changing bands
to allow the ALC to set but it is a PITA.

I noticed when I went to a new band....that the RTTY power (100 watts) was at 50 watts on the watt meter...but after two or three times of calling cq...the power would be back to 100 watts.  The band did not matter, it did this consistently on all bands....even after I had been on that band before.  The watt meter is a very normal Drake W-4
