[NLRS] TR-751 Output Spike?

[Bud Patten]

Hi Gang,
I just purchased a Kenwood TR-751A and was poking around the internet for
possible mods to the rig.  I ran across the following message from Zack Lau
and wondered if any of you guys who are running the '751 as an IF rig have
noted this problem?

I was going to use my TR-751A for QRP portable use,
but haven't been able to eliminate the full
power spike that occurs when you let up on the mic
button when you are in USB--so I get 29 watts on
the Bird PEP meter, even in the low power position.
Doesn't appear to be a problem on CW or FM,
but I wouldn't run the rig into a brick
or transverter unless it could handle the
29 watt power spikes. --Zack W1VT  FN33kd in Sept VHF test
