[Elecraft] Interfacing Ke with MFJ929?

[George Kidder]

In CONFIG menu, TUN PWR defaults to NOR, where tuning power follows the 
power knob.  But TUN PWR can be pre-set to any other value, which it 
will produce whenever the "xmit" button is held. (I have mine set for 50 
W since my SWR indicators are manual). You could use 5W or anything 
else.  Is this "automated" enough?
