[Elecraft] Power spike early K3

[Mikael Larsmark]

Hi,

We have an early serial K3 which has got an issue with power spikes. I have
done a TX gain calibration without it making a difference. The spike
happens mainly when you have changed to a new band and during the first
transmission. After that the spike is a lot smaller and not much of an
issue.

Anybody have any ideas of what this could be because of? It kind of makes
it impossible to run a solid state amplifier on the radio and probably not
good for the tube amplifiers either.
