Bob,
What is your "pulser" doing to induce transmit? How is it connected?
I am thinking it may be running into a conflict with the way the K3
controls power.
After a band change or a change in the requested power, the power output
starts out low and then ramps up to the requested level (better than
power 'spiking' as some other transceivers are guilty of) - for CW, that
should take 2 or 3 dot times, for voice modes how fast it comes up to
the requested power depends on the syllabic nature of speech.
Is the 100 watts the output of the amp or the output of the K3?
The K3 has a "built-in" pulser of sorts - it is the internal keyer. just
send a string of dots or dashes. You may want to try using that instead.

I have what I think is a problem with the K3 or me.. I use a tuning pulser to
tune my amp.. I turn the power down to 10 watts output on the K3 key down. If I
use the pulser now to adjust the amp the power will go up slowly to over 100
watts.. I have tried either plug on the back of the K3 but get the same
results. What do I need to do to get this pulser to work right? 73s Bob W5RG
