It was never implemented and I doubt if it has ever been "on the list". In
order for this to work, the K3 would have to decode your manual sending.
When sending with a paddle, it generates the text itself from paddle
closures so no decoding is ne
a difference. If you use the
wizard in the latest Elecraft Utility it takes next to no time.

hich is the center frequency I use for PSK31, is 53W when
30W is requested. This is exactly what I am complaining about.
If the power output at 1KHz matched the power level requested then I would
be a lot happier, though it is quite disappointing to see that the power
would be little more than half tha
eptable. I can't imagine that this state of affairs would
be considered acceptable if it was CW or SSB that was affected.

I have run on

Exceed 100W though, and it rapidly becomes awful.
It would still be a good idea to have some form of IMD monitoring in place
if you are going to try higher power lev
PA
because the K3 can't be relied on to limit the power to 100W peak just
because you've set 100W on the dial. So to be on the safe side - especially
if you don't have a separate IMD meter to monitor your signal - I'd
recommend aiming for no more than 50W peak, which should show

built in meter to set the power. I have given up using my K3 until this
problem is fixed, as it's too easy to forget this and overdrive the PA with
dire results.

So using a third party library that has been well and truly tried and tested
is probably a wise decision.

The URL with the pictures is a real gobbledygook one, so I've made a short
version o

idle time, except by terminating it manually. The timeout period is probably
hard coded in the firmware.

ying $3,000 for a factory aligned transceiver from any
manufacturer then you ought to be confident that it puts out a clean signal
as long as you operate it in accordance with the instructions.

as shown by both the K3 meter and
my external meter.
The problem is quite simply that the output on a pure tone in DATA A is
twice the power requested, and twice what it would be in SSB mode. What's
more, it's twice what the K3 firmware expects it to be, with the result that

atory grade peak
reading meter in order to ensure that they never exceed a given peak power
because the K3 internal circuits are incapable of doing so is a very serious
criticism indeed.

SSB. DATA A ought simply to be treated as
another SSB mode that just allows a different choice of audio input and
filter settings. I believe that it did originally work like that in early
versions of the firmware.
Sorry to continue the topic after Wayne requested we call a halt on it, but

't do Yahoo so I haven't seen that thread, but I observed exactly the
same phenomenon using my KK7UQ IMD meter. However it is blatantly obvious
that the K3 is putting out too much power when this occurs, because its own
power meter shows this.

onths, the K3 is still not capable
of performing a simple basic function like regulating the output power to
the level the operator requests. I am seriously considering selling the K3
at this point, as I am losing confidence that Elecraft has any intention of
fixing this issue.

irmware support for this is still "on the list".
Just as some folks obsess over receiver performance specs, others like to
feel that their frequency readout is "spot on". As with many things in this
hobby, whether or not it is really necessary to know your frequency to that
