DATA A mode output power discrepency

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

I know this has been recently discussed, but I never ran into it personally until I brought up the K3 recently in DATA A mode running WSJT. The indicated power output reads much lower than it actually is. I'm looking at an actual power output in excess of 100W when the output readout says something on the order of 60-70 watts. I don't remember reading what the fix is for this -- if there is one. It's not a big deal, and I can readily tolerate this bug, but if there's a fix for it, I'd like to know what it is. I'm running the latest firmware and all hardware mods have been made to my K3 S/N 888. (I know, too cool , huh? :-)

I was sent beta firmware that fixes this issue but it was emailed by Wayne to various malcontents including me who have complained about it before, so that we could test it. I don't think it has been generally released.
