Low transmit power on K3 for all bands

Elecraft mailing list
I’m having a problem with tx power in my K3. Every band has a maximum power out of 12 watts except 6 meters at 8 watts. I’m not sure if I have changed something inadvertently, made changes accidentally while try to configure digital software, or if I am in  need of a repair. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like you running the low power amp only.

Check the CONFIG menue entry

KPA3 amplifier module: set the KPA3 menu
entry to PA NOR. See menu entry listings for
information on other settings.
