Power control issues were unexpected, because we had 70+ K3 owners
running this exact power control firmware for a few weeks. That's why
we did a beta release of 3.04.
But I have now confirmed some of the observations from the weekend,
using specific settings some of you sent me. So I guess you
I'm reviewing the discussion on this topic and will be working on a
near-term beta firmware release to improve SSB ALC behavior, etc. I
might have field-test firmware available with some changes as early as
tomorrow, and I'd be happy to send it directly to anyone in the mood to
experiment. Plea

Beta means beta. It is great to hear that as usual you take the user comments
seriously. K3 is the best investment I ever made, sure better than my 401K.

Yes, I'd be interested in the recommended Data mode settings as well please.
I'm seeing the same symptoms as outlined by Julian, G4ILO and first reported it
to
Elecraft Support on 15 September, just after 2.38/1.90 was released. There was
no
problem with the production release prior to that -
Others have already mentioned this as a problem and I have just tested my K3
#1198 driving an Acom 1000 amp into a dummy load with the following results.

I have TXG VCE set to -1.5dB, mic 15, cmp 24.

I've only had my KPA500 for a couple of weeks. It seems to have so much
gain that adjusting the K3's power control takes a very fine touch to drive
the amplifier to the desired 500W without overshooting. It's too easy for
me to add 50W of KPA500 output when I really want, say, 10w or 20W, but
may
I noticed that too. Not a big concern here as my linear is 2 x 3-500Z but
would be a concern with high gain tubes.

Hello
Something similar (V 2.82 and previous).
K3 set to max power (12W here)
Change power to 6W (or any power but not max power)
First key down (CW SSB Tune) power = 9W (about)
Second key down power = 6W
In fact any change of power is not taken properly for the first key down.
I can repeat t
Jim,
If you want more precise power control at levels below 100 watts, why
not put the KPA500 into standby?
The KPA500 has approximately 15 dB of gain, so the resolution in power
output is 15 dB (31.62 times) worse than the power resolution on the 100
watt K3.
With the KPA500 in standby, the
H ... strange.
Mine isn't at all sensitive and once set, I never really touch it. One
thing ... like most Elecraft rigs, the instantaneous power out of the K3
will adjust on the first couple of dots or dashes [or syllables] to a
new setting. If I change the K3 drive setting, even by one
