When you change bands and key the K3/KPA1500 do you see a spike in power and
then the power out settles down and is fine till you switch bands? Then you
have a spike in power on the initial keying?
Just wondering

Overshoot was a problem in the early K3s (plural, not S), but was
corrected in firmware. Surely the K3S never had it at all.
But apparently so for yours.
If you have the latest (i.e. final) firmware installed, a quick phone
call to Elecraft support should solve it. There are just
Does it overdrive only initially after changing bands and then goes to the
normal band set output? I do not have a KPA-1500 but I seem to recall
seeing something like this with my K3S.

Sorry, I misspoke - I meant the internal tuner in the KPAS-1500 - my K3 doesn't

Thanks, Kent - that's wha
Thanks, Kent - that's what I thought, but it doesn't seem to be
working. I generally use the internal tuner, and I was hopping around a
lot within bands, but unfortunately I didn't collect data on which hops
produced warnings - either excessive current warnings or over-power
readings on the LE
Just finished SS, and on many occasions when switching bands I found
myself overdriving the KPA-1500 on the new band. No harm done, but I
thought the K3/KPA-1500 combination was supposed to manage drive on a
per-band basis. Did I get that wrong?
