Having followed this thread, I can heartily endorse Elecraft's method of idiot-proofing K3 power control when used with the KPA500. I have tuned each band for maximum output (except 200W on 30 meters per regulations). When the amp is in standby and I key the K3, I see the output level on the amp's display. When switching to operate, I get the prescribed amplifier output. A momentary touch of the K3 PWR knob shows the drive level (17 - 25 watts, band-dependent). Technology has finally found a way to minimize blown amps during the wee hours of a contest!
