Roy, I have had a similar problem with characters missing from the beginning of a transmission. Don is right that the radio is power hunting (I call it spooling up). The way I have solved mine was I have used the K3 utility program and page 49 of the current K3 manual and redid the 'Transmitter Gain' then proceeded to do the rest of the steps as Don points out with ALC adjust in transmit TEST mode, then all was fine.

The string on my K3 display shows that all characters are scrolling correctly. I went into the setup screen and changed the timeout from 0 to 3000 thinking that would cure this problem, but it appears not to have corrected it. What would cause the first word to be shortened, and what might be the cure? Also, when I go from one data mode to another the cursor can change several Khz up or down from the center frequency. I am sometimes able to get it back to center if I change the mark and space pairs with the PITCH control. Once the cursor is centered I can go to other data modes and it stays near the center line. I am new to the data modes so I must not be doing something right. Any help to enlighten me would be appreciated.
