[Elecraft] K3 per band power levels with KPA500

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Phil, when you change bands the power you have set is automatically stored
by the K3, so it will be returned to that value when you come back to that
band later.

If you are using the optional AUX cable with your K3 so that you see the
operate/standby status reported on the K3's LCD when you switch the KPA500
on, the K3 will keep track of BOTH the power level you selected when the
KPA500 is in OPERATE and the "barefoot" power level you selected when the
KPA500 is in STANDBY.

Sometimes our rigs are "smart" enough it gets scary, Hi!

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 per band power levels with KPA500

I went to read the documentation and set up the per band power levels for
the KPA500 in standby (barefoot) and operate (powered) mode and discovered
that the directions were not as clear as I prefer for my feeble mind.

So, I read that the CONFIG menu setting of PWRSET is set to PER BAND instead
of NORmal but after that I am not sure what I need to do and how something
gets "saved".  Did I miss something in the documentation or am I looking too
hard?

Also if you are running in the per band and then want to change the power
level for that per band setting do you just use the PWR knob to adjust the
power level to your liking and if you do that is it automatically saved?

Thanks for any help you will be.
