I believe the "power overshoot" issue was that the transmitter, when set to a reduced power level like 20 watts, would momentarily put out full power when first keyed. This could potentially damage a linear amplifier that was designed to see 20 watts input and suddenly sees 100 watts for a fraction of a second.

Perhaps this fix had an untoward side-effect. I'm sure we'll find out soon.

Can anyone tell me what  "SSB TX power overshoot corrected" means in

Like Roy W4WFB I notice an apparent reduction in average ssb power
out. i.e for any given power setting, my external output meter does
not kick up as far as it did with MCU 1.75.
