My Winkeyer has settings for both lead and tail time, and so does
N1MM+. WSJT-X does not appear to have these variables.

Pete, your issue may only be on the back end of the transmission, and
adjusting the delay time for the exciter to kick in is on the front
end to prevent a hot transmission before the amp kicks in. I don’t
know if the back end can be corrected on your exciter, or somewhere in
the kpa1500’s menus. I don’t have the issue you reported and haven’t
looked through the settings on my K4 or kpa1500. If all else fails,
try posting on the kpa1500 groups.io, of ask Elecraft support directly.

Interesting idea, Lou. I'll give it a try and see.

Pete, have you tried increasing the transmit delay between your exciter and the
amp? If the exciter continues to transmit briefly after the amp’s relay kicks
out, you could see an swr spike.

I've been operating 160M FT8 recently, and am noticing some odd symptoms from
my amp that seem only to occur in FT8 mode. Even running only about 1170 watts
into a good dummy load, with the KPA-1500's ATU bypassed and a displayed SWR of
1.0:1 during transmit, as soon as the transmission ends both the display on the
amp and the KPA-1500 utility show SWRs ON RECEIVE of 1.6-1.9:1.
I just tested on 80 meters, and am seeing the same anomaly on FT8. This does
not happen on CW.
The question is, where is this spurious reading coming from, and should I be
concerned?
