Jim,
Yes, the net result is the same as what Frank posted.
My article goes a bit further into explaining that there are multiple
audio level controls, and that none of them should be near the lower or
upper extremes (because the adjustment gets "touchy").
Just how many audio level controls

[Elecraft] K3 Abnormal Behavior Hi Jim
Jim,
With audio data modes (even if you are using SSB instead of DATA A), you
must have 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing - that
is the NO ALC point for the K3/K3S/KX3/KX2.
If you do not have sufficient audio, the K3 will "power hunt" trying to
bring the power up to the
ms. Excuse me while I go wipe
the egg off my face. Jeesh !

Hi Don, I have checked it with both my Bird 43 and Daiwa CN801. Both
when on a cold
start if the K3 tracks the same.

Jim,
How were you observing the power increase? There is a big difference in
how your situation can be analyzed depending on whether the power
increase is noted by the K3 display or whether with an external wattmeter.
I am not saying that you have no problem, but that the area to look can
My K3S has a bit of a slow power rise after any power change. I wouldn't say
it takes a minute, but I was told this occurs as the power management system
makes adjustments. This is done in order to prevent ALC overshoot.
With the ATU bypassed I have my TUNE power set to 20 watts. That is
Jim,
Your unit is about the same age as mine (#3645) which was sent to Elecraft
a few months ago for what I thought would be installation of some upgrades
I couldn't do myself. Turns out they found (and fixed) several items
including two resistors in the LPA that appeared burned and were
10 matches
