[Elecraft] K3/KPA500 Power By Band

I think I have this figured out, but don't want to smoke anything in a 
moment of non-thinking [they occur with increasing frequency as 
birthdays accumulate :-)]

With KPA500 in STBY, I set the power on each band for barefoot operation 
[100W], and it gets remembered.  With KPA500 in OPERATE, I set the power 
to drive it to 500W on each band, and it gets remembered.

If, while operating with the amp and it seems to be poking a little more 
than 500W into the antenna, I turn the power down just a tad.

QUESTION:  That little tweak gets remembered immediately, and modifies 
the original drive setting?
