i have the 2.78 version installed and it does the same thing... i tried reloading the firmware and did not change... as far as modes i run all modes from sstv to hell, psk, rtty, olivia.. My agc settings vary for different modes, but just say on PSK i run the AGC to one line below max for the threshold. I am using the Computer sound card into the line in line out... It works fine when i go to CW and key the radio and get the full power out then it i will do the full 100+w on data... hope this explains it a little better..

Re: FW: K3

Ok, then you have something else going on. That was fixed 3.03 or so.

You may want to re-do the transmitter gain calibration. The K3 Utility
makes it easy, so just plug into a dummy load and run through it...
