[Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Mine shows the power output regardless of the PWR setting.  It shows a 
10 watt full scale range when it is set to 10 watts PWR or less.  If I 
set the PWR to 20 watts the meter switches to 100 watts full scale and 
indicates accordingly.    My default TUNE power setting is 25 watts and 
the meter shows 25 watts on a 100 watt scale.    The transition PWR 
point is 12 watts, thus when PWR is greater than 12 watts the 100 watt 
scale + 2 bars is displayed and when the PWR is less than 12 watts the 
10 watt scale is displayed + 2 bars.  The actual output follows accordingly.
