K3: Power on 50MHz

[David Pratt]

Apologies if this has been asked before.

On my K3/100, I find that the PWR control jumps from 8W to 13W on the 6
metre band, but from 12W to 13W on all other bands.

Is this a "feature" or a fault?  I have looked through the FAQ and the
Owner's Manual but am unable to find any reference to this.

We only allow up to 8 W with the lower-power amplifier stage on 6
meters to ensure plenty of headroom (i.e., low IMD). In an future
firmware release we'll allow the high-power amplifier to cover the
presently-missing range of 8-13 W.
