I fixed my issue. Here was what I did so others who might have
this problem can see the solution.
First, I was 1 firmware revision behind on my KX3, so I updated that. Then
I reset my KXPA100 to factory default settings with the KXPA100 software
utility. I noticed I still wasn't getting full 100W output, but it was
close on some bands. Maybe 86 to 92W based on the band.
I then performed a P out Calibration with the KX3 and KPA100 connected.
The instructions are located here :

Now the amp puts out full power.
Thanks to everybody who tried to help along the way.
Kyle
