Wayne, Could it be possible that the KPA3 upon initial key-down in sideband could be oscillating for a second or two out of frequency? If that's the case, this could explain Bjorn's low-power out issue along with my SWR alarm-tripping problem. I've noticed that when my meter is set to peak mode, when I key the microphone without talking, I'll see a burst of power along with an increase in SWR for 1 or 2 seconds before it settles. This only occurs in sideband and not in any other constant carrier mode.
