[Elecraft] Per-Band Power Setting Issue

[Andy Durbin]

"Once the correct power value is set for the amp in OPER mode and for the individual band, I find no need to change the power setting.  If one has it correct....... then changing it would seem to make it no longer correct.  This makes no sense to me."

Your concept seems to be that the correct power is maximum power.  What ever happened to the idea of using minimum power required to make the QSO?

I seldom want to use maximum power for FT8 mode but, yes, sometimes I do.  Because I work a lot of FT8 I coded a separate set of power settings for that mode.  These setting are invoked when my option "Set FT8 power" is enabled.  I can turn up the wick if I need to but it won't change the stored FT8 power settings or the stored band max power settings.
