[Elecraft] KPA1500 wattmeter adjustment

[Bob McGraw]

'Twas said "a man with one watch always knows the time.  A man with 3 or 
4 watches is never quite sure of the time.".

I just recently went through power calibrations on my K3S and my 
KPA500.  All now agree with the power meter reference I used. Also, this 
was done using a known 50.5 ohm dummy load.  On the antennas, even 
though SWR is indicated 1.1:1, there will be differences due to 
difference line complex impedance's.
