[Elecraft] K3 - Amp disable on TUNE request

[Bill Johnson]

Would not using the menu to set tune power do this?  That is what I use.  I
set mine for 3 watts and tune the tuner.  This is a level I can adjust
depending on my station needs.  3 watts gives me enough to drive my QRO 600
W amp to tune the remote tuner.
