[Elecraft] Power control on 50MHz

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Julian,

We switch the KPA3 out at lower power levels to optimize the drive,  
ensuring a high carrier-to-noise ratio at lower-level stages.

In any case, IMD should be quite respectable on 6 m even with the LPA  
by itself. If it isn't, we'd be happy to swap LPAs with you so we can  
see what's up. Just contact support.

73,
