Hello,

More info.  I have checked the decimal point per one suggestion.  I also
now noticed that running JT65 on 15M, it claims 100 watts (full power) even
if I set the power of the KPA3 to 15 watts.  If I disable the KPA3 and run
the K3 at 10W is shows 10W.  Looks like a PA problem of some kind.

Odd.
