I am experiencing the Power Creep issue on my K3S.   This radio was just returned from Elecraft repair in June of 2020.  At that time I had the issue with distorted audio above ~12 watts.

I have read prior info regarding the power creep issue.  It is not related to audio level as Don mentioned.  I did not do a new calibration as it was done at Elecraft just 6 months ago.

The only way to get the full power at any setting (20, 50, 100 and so on) is to put the radio in RTTY FSK and key up about 5 to 10 times.   If I turn the radio off.   The issue comes back.

Is there any new information on the cause of this issue?

It is very frustrating to have a radio that cannot drive my amp or put out proper power without all of these steps to manipulate the power.
