[Elecraft] Possible K3 over shoot on transmit

[Gary Hunt]

I also just caused this anomaly by first slightly adjusting the K3 power output. First character again sent the KPA 500 to 700 watts.  I'm going to see if I can find an accurate watt meter and see if I can see something on the K3 output.

Just went back into the check, and all is normal!

Sometimes a QSY to a different band or even a different band segment will trigger it again, sometimes not. Both of my antennas require my KAT500 which seems to have found acceptable matches for both antennas on the appropriate bands. It just uses a previous found solution when QSYing.  Trying to determine which piece of equipment might have an issue.  Planning on sending the K3 in for a check up but was hoping to have a K4 here first.
