[Elecraft] K3 Power Changes When Driving My Amplifier

[Andrew Faber]

Yes, this is a very helpful menu item.  I normally keep TUN PWR set at 20 
watts, which allows amp tuneup to be started at lower power with less 
likelihood of damage due to a switching or antenna mistake.

On the K3 check your CONFIG:TUN PWR setting against your power setting.
