[Elecraft] [K3] Power control sensitivity with KPA500

I've only had my KPA500 for a couple of weeks.  It seems to have so much
gain that adjusting the K3's power control takes a very fine touch to drive
the amplifier to the desired 500W without overshooting.  It's too easy for
me to add 50W of KPA500 output when I really want, say, 10w or 20W, but
maybe I'm being too finicky.

I normally use the per-band tune menu option so it's only a problem when
adjusting the drive, of course.

I'd appreciate having a K3 menu item to adjust the sensitivity of the power
control.
