[Elecraft] K2 turning power behavior

[Donald Nesbitt]

OK - now that I have started from 0.01 and gone UP to 100w with PTT held
closed on usb, mine does the same thing that you describe (stops xmit as
soon as the KPA100 kicks in - still in xmit mode but no power out) AND
starting from 100w and going down to 0.01 it does not do this (ie continues
to xmit throughout the range).  Now I'm not sure just why I'd ever want to
do "up" scenario but since it does not continue to xmit when doing this it
would tend to save a little abuse of the relay contacts.  A nice "feature!"
