Have you checked the ALC setting? You should have 4 bars of ALC
showing when you transmit with the 5th bar flashing. You can use
TX test mode to set the ALC without going out on the air.
If you don't have the ALC set correctly, the K3 will start
transmitting at less than the power it is set at and slowly
increase power as the power measurement feedback corrects the
output power.

I HAVE A WATT METER THAT SEEMS TO WORK OKAY, EXCEPT WHEN I
FIRST TRANSMIT, USING PSK31 MODE. IT TAKES THREE OR FOUR
TRANSMITS BEFORE IT INDICATES THE POWER LEVEL SHOWN ON MY K3,
WHICH IS EITHER 40 OR 80 WATTS. I HAVE AN ELECRAFT POWER UNIT
THAT IS IN THE CIRCUIT BT ON STANDBY. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?
