[Elecraft] Power Question for the Experts!

2014-02-24 Thread Lee Buller

This weekend, I participated in NAQP RTTY.  I noticed when I went to a new 
bandthat the RTTY power (100 watts) was at 50 watts on the watt meter...but 
after two or three times of calling cq...the power would be back to 100 watts.  
The band did not matter, it did this consistently on all bandseven after I 
had been on that band before.  The watt meter is a very normal Drake W-4

I found this to be strange.  Or is the NOP with the K3?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find 
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is 
Common Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.

Yes, this is a bug introduced by the recent firmware that reduces the
ALC update rate in RTTY (FSK).  I complained of it during the beta but
it was not addressed prior to releasing that fix in the public
firmware.  The solution is to briefly hit TUNE when changing bands
to allow the ALC to set but it is a PITA.
