Given the way the K3 audio/ALP/Power system operates, the information
you have been given is highly questionable. Either the test equipment
was not operating correctly, the test procedure was flawed or the
particular K3/K3s being tested was not operating correctly.
Since your repeated claims do not identify the technician or provide
any documentation of the procedure and results, the claim can not
be validated.

I was running FT8 just below 1 bar, and found the driving power to my
amp took 7 or 8 transmit periods to get to full power each time I
adjusted my power, even by a tenth of a watt. I'm now running 3 bars
(third flickering) and power-up behavior is much better.
