Mine typically undershoots after a band change.
OTOH, if I set Config -> Tune Pwr to Nor, activate Tune and adjust the K3S to
drive the KPA500 to 500W for example, when I hit the key to transmit I get 600W.
Power control in the K3 is, shall we say, different from analog control and not
I think I have the same issue with my K3S and KPA500. When changing bands the
output is initially slightly higher during the first transmission and it then
drops until the next band change. I do not use the KPA500 often and never
looked into what the cause is.

Hello All,
I have almost same issue with K3S and KAT500/KPA500.
I only need about 22w max to get 500w on all bands except 40m where
drive must be 25/26w.
First couple of "dits" light up the 700w red LED but never trips the
amp. After that, it operates normally.
At first thought it was amp but
3 matches
