I was operating on 40M today with my ~2 month old KPA500/KAT500 combo and as the 40M band faded, I switched over to 20M.  Operating the KPA500 in "Operate" mode and the KAT500 in "Auto" with no KPA or KAT faults (confirmed by front panels and KPA500/KAT500 utilities), with 15w dialed in at the K3S, I am only getting 6.77W out of the KPA500.  While operating on 40M, I was getting 475W out with 15W in.  This would be my first time to operate on 20M with the KPA500/KAT500 so I imagine I've got a setting I need to change...  Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance...  (I really love my K3S/KPA500/KAT500 combo!)

73,
