[Elecraft] K3/10 with a KXPA100

[Wayne Burdick]

While there isn't a specific control cable, the K3/10 does have the ability to set KXPA100 drive level per-band. Nearly all amplifiers have some gain variation from one band to the next, and this allows you to adjust drive for consistent power output. Refer to the PWR SET menu entry (CONFIG menu on the K3).
