I have noticed that I am flat topping on voice peaks which is a reminder
that I need to turn the power down on the K3 to the ALS-600.

I find the PEP wattmeter and SWR display useful.  Yes, it compressed the
FFT and waterfall some, but it was a trade-off that is now "normal".

I am satisfied with it and have it enabled at all times.  While I wish
the TX monitor could also show an FFT of the transmission, I understand
this is not possible.  At least this way I am able to monitor my TX
signal at the output of the amplifier.
