[Elecraft] KX3: Antenna disconnected while transmitting question

[Richard Fjeld]

FWIW,
I once heard a friend transmitting with a rig that was in swr foldback 
condition due to his antenna. Each syllable started at full power and 
clamped down. (My terminology)  It was a strange sound.  I had never 
given it much thought but expected there might be some delay built in 
somehow to keep it clamped down for the start of the next syllable and 
so on.  I wonder if such a thing exists?
