[Elecraft] K2 SSB Power Overshoot on First Syllable

[Karin Johnson]

Hello Group:
Has anyone ever figured out why the Elecraft K2, either base version or with
KPA100 amplifier, has a pronounced
power overshoot on the first syllable using SSB.  I did an internet search
for this problem and did not find
a lot of discussion about it.  Difficult to use an external high power
amplifier as the amplifier may trip on
excessive drive.  My Elecraft K2 works just fine on CW.
Inquiring minds want to know.
