John, I consider myself a bit of an expert in the "multiple error messages on start-up" front! (do a search here on my callsign...)
After many months of headscratching, removing/replacing modules and even replacing chips, it turns out in my case to be poor contacts in some of the pins of the front panel connectors. My K3 #145 is not in a particularly 'hostile' environment but this will still crop up occasionally; removing the front panel and a clean of the connectors with isopropanol always cures it long term. I get multiple errors and the reason you're only getting 12W out will almost certainly be due an ERR PA1 in your list; nothing wrong with the PA module, just the software thinking it's not there. Good luck!
