Give me a break, Joe. I told you why I didn't give his call - I'm fairly
sure that he reads this reflector, and he will comment if he wants to.

No, it's not "snarky". It points out that a claim can not
be verified absent supporting documentation - just like any
scientific study that has not been subject to peer review is
generally not given serious weight. This is particularly the
case when the claim runs contrary to not only the
That's kinda snarky, Joe. I didn't identify him precisely because if he
wants to expose himself on this reflector (of which he is a member, I
believe) he should be the one to do so. I know him to be a retired
professional electronic engineer with a well-equipped workbench whose

Yes - although there have also been some analysis done that seems to
show that, in FT8, with any ALC bars visible, signals begin to

It is to prevent overshoot.
It will do it when you change bands also.
I'm sure Wayne has explained it in detail if you can search the archives
here or on the groups.io forum.
If it is real bad on CW and FM, then run the TX gain cal.

This is typical for those who insist on not running data modes
with 4-5 bars of ALC. You are not providing enough audio and
the K3/K3s needs to engage the expander (additional audio gain)
in order to achieve enough drive to reach the set power level.

I have a K-3 driving a KPA-1500, and have started seeing some strange
behavior. After I adjust the power level control on the K-3,. even a
little (like 33 to 31 watts), the driving power delivered to the
KPA-1500 starts much below the K-3's indication, and only gradually
increases to what
