Personally, I would, and do, avoid that region. The difference in received
strength between 10 and 12W is imperceptible if the HPA isn't installed. If it
is installed, crank the power up to 20 or so and you're out of danger.

The K3/100 switches to the KPA3A at 12 watts. So is there a 2w range
(10-12w) where the KLPA3A is putting out unacceptable IMD? Is there a way to
make the switch at 10w, or should we just avoid that 2w "danger zone"?

That said, based on IMD measurements I have performed I would NEVER run a
K3/10
at 12W out. Frankly, with my K3S with the latest rev KLPA3A to keep 3rd
order
IMD below 30 dBc, I would throttle it back even more above 18 MHz.
