 I am driving my KPA500 with my K3 to a Mosley PRO 67. On every band except 20 
meters 25 watts out from the K3 will give me at least 500 watts out of the 
amplifier. On 20 meters I get 450 watts out with 25 watts drive but no increase 
even if I go to 40 watts out from the  K3. I have put a dummy load on the K3 
using the usual RG 213 and the SWR is 1:1, and I have checked the antenna with 
an MFJ 259, using the usual RG 213 cable and it is 1:1 at 14.000 up to 1.4:1 at 
14.350.I have loaded the latest firmware to both the K3 and the KPA. I realize 
that the difference between 450 and 500 watts is negligible but it bugs me that 
it is not giving me full power out on 20.Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix 
it?Many thanks, Mike, WM5DX.
