[Elecraft] F/W 1.77

[Bill W5WVO]

I believe the "power overshoot" issue was that the transmitter, when set to a 
reduced power level like 20 watts, would momentarily put out full power when 
first keyed. This could potentially damage a linear amplifier that was 
designed to see 20 watts input and suddenly sees 100 watts for a fraction of a 
second.

Perhaps this fix had an untoward side-effect. I'm sure we'll find out soon.
