[Elecraft] K144XV output power range

Thanks to those who responded.  It is evident that my K144XV is not
responding as expected to the K3's front-panel power control byreducing
output down to approximately 1.0 W at a drive level of 0.1 mW.

While it would be easy to blame my power meter, I have also noted this
behavior with an attached power amplifier.  The minimum output power floor
was no where near what I would have expected from a 1 W drive if the K144XV
had been providing that.

I have my CONFIG: XV1 PWR value set to L 1.0.  I do have a K144REFLK option
installed.

Anyone have an idea as to what might cause this behavior?  I really need to
be able to provide a reliable 5 W output from my K144XV.

If the routing of the TMP cables to the K144REFLK board is critical, how
should they be routed?  The assembly manual is mum on this question.
