Hi, No, please, this is not a power calibration issue! A huge number of K3 users have complained about this propensity of the SSB power to aim "conservatively" for 50-80% of the requested peak power and then slowly, very slowly climbing up to the requested power. Once reaching 100% it stays there until you perform some kind of QSY operation other than just turning the wheel. It is not a huge irritant to me, but an irritant nonetheless. If I am in a big rush to have full power on SSB after a QSY, I switch mode to TX data FSK D, do a quick squirt of TX and I have instant full SSB peak power.
