k3 ALC problem

erz.gebirge
My K3, S/N 7834 and has the newest

Softwareupdate. Power calibration with K3 Utility was enforced.No problem!

TX ALC ON. TECH MD OFF. External watt-meter LP100A.

Problem:

Power out adjust on 30 watts.

issue 1- The meter displayed 100 ..140 watts with the first dot.

              Then, the power out goes back to 30 watts. In
approximately 300…500ms.

Issue 2- After first dot no power. After operate the PTT

              power out 100…140 watts, that go back to 30 watts then.

Issue 3- case 2, but power out only after operate PTT 2 ..3 times.

The portrayed cases happen quite frequently, usually after band-change.

Does somebody have an idea?
