[Elecraft] setting K3 drive level to KPA500

I am bringing up a new (to me) K3.

What makes the drive level track between bands without the nasty ALC
overshoots? The drive from the K3 sometimes also takes a while to settle
down when coming up on a new band. This drives me crazy in changing bands
and modes while chasing W1AW/# stations.

What to invoke to make the output of the K3 go back to 100W when the KPA is
off or stby? It presently stays at the ~30W needed for 500W out. Is this a
KPA or K3 issue?
