[Elecraft] Setting KPA100 Bias?

Greetings, Tom and the Group:
	How fast is "when you first enter TUNE mode"? Given 532 mA, my target is
932 mA. When I hit TUNE in CW TEST, it looks like the current is following
an exponential curve, the rate of increase slowing to a slow change after
about 25 seconds. If I set R6 for the target current in a few seconds, the
plateau is about 1.2A or higher and I wouldn't say it is slowly drifting
higher from the 932 mA. Is the resistance in my jury-rigged meter cabling
between the power supply and the K2 cable causing an unusually long
time-constant?

	Is N5WU's method, posted by Tom, of measuring the voltage change across R7
likely a better method in my case?

	Or am I about to enter the Trouble Shooting mode in the upcoming Transmit
Tests?

	Thanks much.
John, K7JG.
