[Elecraft] K3 - low power on SSB after antenna tuning

[Jim Stahl]

I’ve noticed an occasional situation where after tuning with the internal tuner, I have low power (about 20 watts on the K3 power display). I notice this in SSB only. A couple of dots on CW (I have CW in SSB enabled) clears the condition and returns things to normal power. (100 watts).  A power cycling will also clear things.

This seems to happen with a relatively  mis-matched antenna, athough the tuner has taken the indicated VSWR to under 1.5:1 or so.

Firmware V 5.60.
