Don, OK. Makes me curious what is happening with my KX3+KXPA-100 (without KAT100).
My KXPA-100 reaches 100w with 3.9w*drive from the KX3. If, when you state 10-12w, you mean output of the KXPA-100, I'm not sure I can get it down that low. The KXPA-100 LED PWR meter reads 25w with only 0.1w drive from the KX3.
I do have the KX3 ATU which is normally run when operating. Input SWR looks like 1.1 into the KXPA-100 (haven't bypassed the ATU to see if this is normal SWR).
*Note requires 8w drive on 6m for 80w output. Exceeding 8w will activate auto-attenuator in the KXPA-100.
