[Elecraft] POWER LOCKED

[Carl Clawson]

Another thing to try:

Press and hold the Menu button for a second to enter the Config menu.

Rotate the VFO B knob until you see the PWR SET entry. Tap '1' and see if
it unlocks your power control.

This is a feature that was introduced to keep other ops from messing with
transmit settings. It locks power, compression, and mic gain.

Good luck!
