[Elecraft] 6m transmit issue

[Ken K3IU]

I just had the same experience with #202 and latest firmware. I went to 
CONFIG:PA TEMP and CONFIG: FP TEMP to see what they said... both 
appeared normal. When I got out of the CONFIG menu I tried it again 
(Tune, 100 w -> Dummy Load on 50.090) and it stayed on with no drop outs 
like before. After 2 minutes I manually turned off the xmtr.
Hmmmmmm.....
