[Elecraft] K3 Firmware 2.58

Julian,

I set the power by double clicking in the software.  I made no changes to
the config settings so this was definitely a software created change.

Hi Bill. This happens to me sometimes, too. I find that the KPA3 menu
setting has been set to Bypass. You have to go into the menu and switch it
back to Nor.

It's interesting that you associate the problem with using KComm. Did you
set the power to 5W by double-clicking the shortcut? Perhaps setting the
power level by software command causes the problem? However I quite often
set the power to 5W using this shortcut and I certainly do not disable the
PA every time.
