Wes,

That is true, but the control of the drive to that analog PA is 
different than that implemented in transceiver that use analog open loop 
ALC and SWR power reduction.  The K3 (and K2 and KX3) do ALC differently 
than other transceivers.  You may find similar systems in commercial 
transceivers, but I don't think the same methods are employed in any 
other amateur transceiver.
