[Elecraft] K3--Too much ALC creates energy on opposite sideband?

[David Gilbert]

I don't know about others, but when I got my K3 I did a lot of testing 
into a dummy load using my previous rig with a short piece of wire for 
an antenna to monitor my K3 audio.  I found anything above about 25 for 
mic gain was objectionable, at least to me.
