I own one FT-9000d, one IC-7800, and one K3/factory assembled. The only one
where I can get "over shoot" or a full-power brief spike of RF is the K3. The
rig is set for, say, 40 watts output and on its first key down, voice or CW, it
jumps to 100 watts for a very brief moment and strangely does not repeat this
spike as that one key-down session continues, but repeats again after a longer
stand-by period. This is a common and very well known problem with the K3,
but not often discussed due to the powerful love people have for their K3
radios. The factory has acknowledeged it but has also denied it. Facts in my
shack. Thanks your message and 73,
Charles Harpole
