K3 power output

[Mike Clarke-5]

Ok folks, basic question time...

Under what circumstances would the K3's power meter show me
putting out more power than I have requested?  SSB if it makes
any difference...

That thought did occur to me, but then if the PA has a more
accurate idea of power than the meter that is somehow independant
of the meter's calibration, why is the meter not simply
calibrated to the PA's more accurate idea of its own output?

My (possibly incorrect!) assumption was that the power measured
at the meter was fed back to the PA to achieve the requested
output.
