[Elecraft] KPA1500 / K3 Mystery

[Jim McCook]

Ben, The process I use is to first clear all the tuner settings on the 
band I'm using.  I go to STBY and hit ATU TUNE.  Low power is applied to 
start the search.  When I first got the amp I did this when in OPER, but 
even with low drive power I kept getting faults due to initially high 
SWR.  Recently during a trace working with Dick he noticed intervals of 
very high drive power... up to 60w, which means the K3 ramps up power 
output at times.  It's complex.  Jim W6YA
