Jim, it is quite easy, although cranking the knob became a bit tedious
so I assigned a macro to the PF1 button to set the power to 5 W and
another to PF2 to set it to 100 W.  It is a very quick and handy way for
me to jump to either extreme.

Other than the weight, which is a consideration for portable operation,
the PA does not hinder the K3's QRP capability.
