Here, LP-100 shows 130W for the first few seconds when K3 is set to 100W on SSB only. It seems to do it only after being turned on and during the first transmission. Seemed to have been gone and coming with various releases. No big deal here as my amp is 2 x 3-500Z.

My watt meter seems to behave strangely in SSB. I've run all the calibrations and have it hooked to the Elecraft W1 watt meter and 50 ohm dummy load. When set for 100 watts, I get 100 watts on both the K3 and the W1 on CW key down. On SSB, the K3 meter regularly exceeds 100 watts, pegging the 120 lines while the W1 peaks out at 100 watts. I've noticed this for several revision of firmware.
I also just downloaded verson 2.8 and tried setting the SMTR PK to ON, but the peak reading doesn't seem to work anymore.
Anyone else have this experience?
