[Elecraft] K3 Fault 6 and loss of power control

Today I started seeing this in my K3 driving a KPA-1500.  It only needs around 30-34 watts to drive it to full power on CW, but when I set the K3's power to that, and everything looks fine, occasionally the K3 displays Fault 6 on its panel and causes the KPA-1500 to fault, displaying 65 watts i

[Elecraft] Tip: Front Panel Illumination Tip

Radio front panels are busy - lots of knobs and buttons with small labels that seem to shrink as we age. Some of the colors are low-contrast. If room lighting isn't right, they're unreadable, even invisible. Here is a small, LED, clip-on lamp that solved the problem for me: https://www.amazon.com/

Re: [Elecraft] KH1 -

You already answered your own question. Note that the entry says "GET only", which means you can read the limits, but cannot set them. I doubt that Elecraft will publicly release a firmware that would allow anyone to fiddle with the transmit limits on their own, since that could lead to folks
