Fred et al:
Based on Don's information, 4 bars on solid, 5th bar flickering, 6th bar
is beginning of ALC. Also I seem to recall an exchange of information
with a member of the Elecraft staff that confirmed the beginning of ALC
at the 6th bar.
I think this is getting into a hair splitting issue.

Hmmm ... I thought that the ALC started AT the 5th bar and the first 4
bars were sort of a VU-meter. Hence Don's occasional advice, "4 full
bars and the 5th occasionally flickering." I've been known to get
things wrong in the past however.

Just to be clear on the point. The correct audio level should
produce 4 bars indicated on the ALC Scale. Actual ALC action does
not start until after the 5th bar.
Yes, after any power adjustment, the audio system does start at lower
gain, quickly ramping to the desired level. This is done to prevent
any potential power overshoot. After the initial transmission at the
new power setting, the remainder of transmissions are at the proper
power level setting.

I just set the audio to be sure I'm? hitting 4 bars of ALC,and the
cycle
of adjust K-3 power to full expected drive to the KPA-1500 is now more
like CW, but the question remains -? after I adjust the power a tiny
fraction in either direction, why does the K-3's output power drop way
back and relatively slowly recover?
