[Elecraft] fluctuating power KPA100

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That's normal, Gregg.

In "TUNE" the power is automatically reduced to about 20 watts to
protect the output transistors while the ATU is adjusted - either
automatically in the case of the KAT100 or manually if you are using a
manual ATU. 

To allow you to check the output at other power settings, changing the
POWER control position while in TUNE will cause the 20 watt limit to be
cancelled, and the output power will change to whatever you have the
POWER control set for.

When I initially place the radio in tune with the power control set at
max 
the radio only puts out 20 watts. If I turn the power control down the
power 
out increases to the proper level. This happens on all bands.

Any ideas?
