First attempt to respond to a thread on this reflector so not sure if I am headed in the correct direction.
I had trouble with my K3 "power hunting". That is at the beginning of the JT65 or JT9 transmission the output power would be 10 watts and slowly move up several watts during the 48 second transmission. Now I could keep it at 10 watts, but had to turn down the audio from the front panel of the SIgnaLink USB. Turns out my setup like I had used with other transceivers (Flex3K, IC7000) which was to set the rigs power to 100% and adjust the audio level for 10 watts or whatever I wanted does not work with the K3. Set the audio input to 4 to 5 flickering bars on the ALC meter scale. Power can be set to zero or TEST mode as you don't need any power out. Once that was done the "power hunting" stopped and it would go to the power level set by the PWR knob. Interesting that if set to say 10 watts it will jump to 8-9 drift up to 10 on the first transmission on that band. After the 1st transmission it goes to 10 watts immediately. Seems like there is still some level of "power hunting". Not sure what to make of that yet.
