[Elecraft] KPA 500 runaway

[Wes Stewart]

Mine typically undershoots after a band change.

OTOH, if I set Config -> Tune Pwr to Nor, activate Tune and adjust the K3S to 
drive the KPA500 to 500W for example, when I hit the key to transmit I get 600W.

Power control in the K3 is, shall we say, different from analog control and not 
without its idiosyncrasies.
