K3 and 6 meters

[K2QI]

Noticed today that on 6m, the K3 will go from 8 watts directly to 13 watts
when switching over to the KPA3.  Bug?

No. They all do that. The low power PA is limited to 8 watts on 6m for linearity reasons, I guess.

It's a good question, though, which gets asked quite a lot. Last time on June 9th http://n2.nabble.com/K3-power-jump-on-6m-td3035854.html#a3036009 (Nabble's search function is very useful.)
