[Elecraft] power troubles

Since the original manual was written, there's been a subtle change to 
the operation of the TUNE button on the K3:

Originally the TUNE button gave a power level as set by the PWR control, 
in the more recent firmware the way it operates is different.

There is a menu setting of "TUN PWR" which I have set to 09.0, this 
gives 9 Watts when TUNE is pressed, I can still alter the power under 
TUNE by turning the PWR control (it reverts to 9 Watts after releasing 
the TUNE button). When I release TUNE the power returns to the normal 
use of the PWR control. With my Acom I normally drive it with about 25 
Watts for 400 Watts output.

If you set the menu item to "TUN PWR" to "nor" it will work at the same 
level as PWR is set.

Not sure if that was/is the issue or not...
