[Elecraft] new K3S (10195) and audio level drop when KPA500 in Oper mode

[Warren Merkel]

Jim,

Did you check what the K3S power level displays when the KPA500 is in
Operate mode?  It could be set for very low drive. I have mine set up to
lower the drive from 100w to 30w when the KPA500 goes from standby to
operate.   If you have the setting for per band mode enabled, you will
need to check it on each band.
