[Elecraft] power varying - KPA1500

[David Box]

I have not experienced any of this type problem.  I have my CONFIG:PWR 
SET to PER BAND  so that the K3s switches power levels depending on if 
the KPA1500 is OP/STNBY.

Since you are saying this depends on your output power then would first 
look for RF feedback issues.  Are you using the Aux cable between 
K3s/KPA1500?
