Ed,
I did not state 10-12w.
I think your KX3 and KXPA100 is working OK.
The KXPA100 was designed to be driven to full output with up to 5 watts
of drive (it works with the Yaesu FT-817).
The drive power specified is 3.5 to 7 watts, and you fall right in that
range except for 6 meters.

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.

Mike,
Yes, that is the way it works - and it is automatic.
