I wonder if anybody else is observing this.

The first few CW characters do not develop full power as indicated by
the LED power displays.

My gut feeling is that LED power displays should be fast enough to
capture the "true" power for even the first couple characters.

Switching to the PK HOLD option doesn't show this even for a single dit.

Some time constants are evidently built into the metering.

I wonder if Elecraft has built in time constants to confirm to the old
FCC specs for meters which are intended to read PEP power?

I do wish the K3 FSK output powers for the two frequencies would be
equalized one of these days.
