[Elecraft] KPA1500 and FT8

[Chuck Milam, N9KY]

I see we are about to enter the dead horse beating ceremony over FT8 power
levels, as I’ve seen on other groups ad naseum.  Suggest checking the FT8
developers’ comments on the difference between  “low power” and “weak
signal” modes, before we enter the circular argument process.

73,
