Doubtful. Wayne is awfully busy on other projects. We would not want to have fixed-in-firmware drive limits - KPA500s vary in their needed drive level. Some need more power than others for drive. For example my older KPA500 (actually the first one) needs 35 to 40 watts to drive it to 500 watts, while my new one needs only 20 watts. Also, the same limit may not apply to the KPA1500 (which needs more drive power).
Once you set the drive level for each band you will only need to change it when you change the output power because of mode or something else that causes you to limit your output power. I rarely change mine at all. Try it and I think you will see it works very well as it is now. 73!
