It seems that without the compressor it is difficult to obtain full SSB
output. I'm listening to a guy right now on 160m in QSO. He had is
compression on and as can be expected, was picking up plenty of fan noise
from his amplifier. He was advised to "turn off the compression". This he
did and the fan noise went away but he complained about insufficient drive
to his amp and his K3 was only putting out 38 watts now.
I don't have a decent peak reading wattmeter but I think weak RF output is a
common complaint. I just wonder if Elecraft expects everyone to run some
degree of compression? Or are we interpreting the PWR meter on the K3
incorrectly?
