K3 1.78 Firmware Power Output

[N8XPQ]

Has anyone noticed the power output with the 1.78 version does not seem to be a "punchy or responsive"? It seems to be very sluggish. I have attempted all parameter possibilities and still have had no luck. I am certain that with the previous versions, the output was much more responsive and was not like this. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear possible to revert back to a prior version.

You need to pay more attention to the reflector.  This has been noted ad
nauseum and will be corrected in the 1.79 which is due out shortly.

Anyone with a new K3 would be well advised to be monitoring the
reflector every day ... things are happening that quickly.  Plus,
knowing many others were having the same problem could have saved you a
lot of time fooling around with "parameter possibilities."

If you haven't had time to check out the website lately, you may also
wish to avail yourself of the three factory hardware modifications that
are available.

I know about the RX input mod... What are the other two mods??

It is pretty hard to keep up with this reflector because of the heavy
traffic. As many of the postings don't add any relevance to my K3 ownership,
I find myself reading less than 5% of the output. Unfortunately this means
missing relevant information like this resulting in me working the WPX SSB
contest this weekend using a not optimal firmware version.

I would prefer a separate list strictly devoted to discussions of the K3. I
know this has been discussed before with negative outcome, but to me it
seems like the logic solution.
