[Elecraft] Per-Band Power Setting Issue

[Andy Durbin]

"The misconception is that there are presets and there are NOT, the K3s stores the last set power for that band/Amp Mode.  The "presets" are the last power setting the operator made either manually or via software/macro based on the amplifier mode (OPER/STBY).  IF you adjust the K3s power then you changed the "preset" for the amplifier mode/Band ."

That scheme seems to be set up to trap the operator.  I chose to hard code the band power limits and to limit the range of manual adjustment to 120% of band max power limit when KPA500 OPER is active.   That scheme allows me to make any reasonable power adjustment for the current operating situation but I revert to the hard coded power settings on band change.

I could of course change my hard coded values to be user adjustable presets.  However,  I have not needed to change them for a long time so I didn't think the extra coding effort was justified.
