Hi Steve:
I just did the following test and got the same output from USB and LSB.
Using latest beta firmware. K3 #202. Filters: AM; 2.8k; 1.8k; 400 Hz; 200 Hz
ESSB enabled - 4.0 Bandwidth
Band - 40 M
Mic set at 12
Comp set at 24
Power set at 100
Mode LSB
2 Tone - ON
Tap XMIT
Power out to Dummy load indicated on Diamond SX200 power meter - 80 watts
Switch to USB
Tap XMIT
Power out - 80 watts.
2 Tone - Off
Using a mic (Heil/Elecraft Pro-Set) plugged into back panel, the output
on both sidebands appears approximately equal as best I can tell.
Whistling into mic produces about 100 watts, both sidebands.
No problem here like you describe.
73,

I thought the problem had gone away however I discovered I had the ESS
option turned off instead. I need someone to test this. You must be on
40 meters, LSB in ESSB mode. Compare upper and lower SSB power
outputs. I see about 50% power in LSB. When I whistle in the mic, the
power jumps quickly to 100w then quickly decreases to 50w. Not so in USB.

Subject: [Elecraft] ESSB Problem 40m
When using ESSB, any bandwidth, on 40 meters, LSB output power drops
about 50% compared to USB. Turning off ESSB gives 100% power in
either mode.
I reloaded the latest firmware, 2.23, no change.
20 meters is 100% output on either sideband.
Suggestions?
