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 would be expected at the K-3's power setting.  This behavior is apparent in CW, but is more dramatic in FT* using TXData, where it can take several 12-second transmit intervals to reach full power.  Touch the K-3's power control even a little, and this cycle starts over again at reduced power, gradually returning to full.
