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

[Nate Bargmann]

I think I better take a mea culpa on this one.  One reply in a private
email asked if I was using and amp and whether I was driving it too
hard.  Well, some mornings this week I have depending on static levels
and I operated the KS QSO Party this past weekend and ran 100W.  I
normally run the amp (ALS-600) with the power setting at 70W.

This is probably just a, "D'oh!" moment.  Yes, the K3 was still set for
100W.

Incidentally,  My COMP runs about 2-3 bars on voice peaks and the ALC
meter is in the 5-7 bars range on peaks as well.

It's a PEBCAK3 issue.  ;-)
