Sorry, I misspoke - I meant the internal tuner in the KPAS-1500 - my K3
doesn't have a tuner.

Thanks, Kent - that's what I thought, but it doesn't seem to be working. I
generally use the internal tuner, and I was hopping around a lot within bands,
but unfortunately I didn't collect data on which hops produced warnings -
either excessive current warnings or over-power readings on the LED scale.

You have to first set the drive manually per-band on the K3. Once that is done,
the K3 adjusts its drive to whatever you have set it to when changing to that
new band.

Just finished SS, and on many occasions when switching bands I found myself
overdriving the KPA-1500 on the new band. No harm done, but I thought the
K3/KPA-1500 combination was supposed to manage drive on a per-band basis. Did
I get that wrong?
