Hi All,

I have had my KX3 for some time, just completed a kit KXPA100 with Tuner.

Testing all works well, ATU tunes very well. Audio reports on TX good.

My issue is with the Power out LED's and the Utility program monitoring the power. I do not have an accurate Power Meter
Output appears as indicated not to exceed 70W

The LEDs follow the Utility program (makes sense) Can an adjustments be made? 
I am off to EA8 land on Monday......... and would like to run 100w and not 12w !!!
