[Elecraft] Error in Kio2 Programmers PDF

[Jack Brindle]

Actually, it appears that the K2 accepts both formats, and then some. 
It definitely accepts "PCxxx;" in extended mode, but it also appears to 
accept "PCxxxx;" and "PCxxxxx;" as well as "PCxxxxxx;".  In all cases 
on my K2 (no KPA100) it accepts the data and truncates the digits 
following the third digit. I'll let the list pundits consider what all 
this might mean, but that number of digits conceivably could allow 
setting power up to 99,999.9 watts...
