[Elecraft] How do I make my K3 go to HP (100 W)

[Matt Zilmer]

I'm using FW rev MCU 3.11 / DSP 2.15, but a lot of revs back I saw the
K3 reset to LP from HP when a high SWR was encountered.  Only noticed
this afterward [not watching the RF power meter at the time].  Had to
manually set CONFIG:KPA3 back to nor to get HP capability back.

I haven't seen this since, but it might be a bug.  For my part, I just
thought it was operator error...
