[Elecraft] KPA500 Question re the K3s per band power control

[Fred Jensen]

I notice the same thing.  I would love to have VFO B show the K3 power 
out when I change bands.  Right now "KPA500" and "OPERATE" of "STANDBY" 
are spelled out.  They could be abbreviated leaving room for the actual 
power my K3 is going to make the first time I press the key.  I'm always 
wary that something didn't change the power and I'm going fry the 500 
with a full 100W of drive.
