Make sure the KPA100 option is installed and enabled. That sounds like it is
not (the basic K3 has a 10 watt transmitter). Suggest you look in the
Owner's manual and perform the procedures to enable and then test and
calibrate the KPA100. Likely that will point to the problem. 

Good luck!

While checking a K3/100 #4114 on behalf of SK estate, I find that the power
cannot be set higher than 12 watts.
Operation was normal until I commenced a CAL procedure to correct a 2kHz
difference between 'indicated' and transmitted frequency.

Checked all the menu functions but can't find any reference to power
limitation - searched the archives but no luck.

Any help is appreciated.
