No. It occurs after the KPA switches from STBY to OPER. With the KPA 
turned off, the overshoot occurs on the first key press after I switch 
from CW to SSB.

I think I will do that. I bought this K3 used, and the TX EQ had some 
very odd settings, so who knows what else might be hosed-up. :-)

Thanks for the suggestion.
