Roger,

That is "the way it is" - at least for the time being.  The Low Power 
amplifier is limited to 8 watts on 6 meters, as I recall  because of IMD 
performance.
Wayne has said he will do something to allow the KPA3 to begin above 8 
watts on 6 meters, but I have no idea about the schedule for that change.
