[Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.82

[David Lankshear]

 Ah!  I must have been on an exact 5W setting when I did it, then, Joe.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I still think that as it's a calibration feature, it would make better sense
by being protected by the ability to turn it off.  I'd really like to hear
why a calibration feature sits there awaiting to pounce on the unwary.

Joe replied:
Not quite ... If you set the power level to exactly 5.0 or 50
watts and press the Tune button the K3 will recalibrate.  If
you set the power to 4.9, 5.1, 49 or 51 watts it will not
recalibrate.
