[Elecraft] K3 very slow to reach dialed rf output

[John]

When I dial up, or down rf output, it takes in excess of 30 seconds

to reach the output level, which is much lower than requested.

3 "bars" on the rf meter.  That looks to be 20 to 25 watts.

If I readjust the level, up or down, it takes another 30+

seconds and it will not go over 3 "bars".

Anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks.
