[Elecraft] KLPA3A power transistor thermal stress concerns

The K3/10 will output 12W.

That said, based on IMD measurements I have performed I would NEVER run a K3/10 
at 12W out.  Frankly, with my K3S with the latest rev KLPA3A to keep 3rd order 
IMD below 30 dBc, I would throttle it back even more above 18 MHz.
