After all this discussion of power control in DATA A mode vs SSB, I decided to try using PSK31 with USB mode, rather than DATA A. I changed the MIC SEL menu item to Line IN and adjusted the ALC meter to 4-5 bars using the MIC GAIN control. The PSK31 power output appeared to closely match the K3 power setting. Unfortunately, I received horrendous feedback about the widthand IMD of my signal -- when I returned to DATA A mode, my signal width and IMD returned back to acceptable values.
