[Elecraft] KAT500 tuning & K3 power control

Hi all,

For a while I have been quite concerned with the way my K3's power control
behaves when tuning a previously unknown antenna frequency with the KAT500.
The KAT500 hunts *a lot* and the K3's power output goes more or less crazy
as a result. I have an LP-100A in line and it's not unusual for me to see a
K3 power output of 60W or more when done tuning (tuning power is set at 20W
as recommended). Is this healthy for the K3?
