[Elecraft] [K3/100] Reduced power output on 6m

Hi,

I was mucking around in the VHF contest this afternoon and noticed that my
K3/100 isn't putting out the power it should be on 6m. With the power
control set to 100W, I am getting a maximum of about 60W. It is able to
deliver 100W on 160 through 10, this is only an issue on 6. I have verified
the power output with an external power meter.

I ran through the TX gain calibration and it worked fine. It'll do 50W no
problem, it's only when it gets over 60W that the problem manifests.

Any ideas where to start looking?

Thanks,
Sean - VA5LF
