[Elecraft] [KX3 amp] 100/50

[David Christ]

I don't understand.  With the K3/KPA500 there is no knob on the 
KPA500 but if you want to change the power level you just turn the 
power knob on the K3.  The K3 can remember that level the next time 
you return to that band if you wish.  A power knob on the KPA500 
would be redundant and superfluous.

If the KX3 and its amplifier are set up similarly, and I suspect they 
will be, then there is no need for the control. And anyway, putting 
that control on the amp would constrain where you could place the amp 
in order to use the power control.

Does your issue arise because you want to use the amp with something 
other than a KX3 and that other rig has no easy way to control its 
output power?
