I do the same.  That being said, I am very satisfied with the power setting feature in the K3.  I am responsible for the power setting on each band, with the KPA500 in both Operate and Standby modes, and the radio retains my settings until I change them.  Great feature!

I agree with Bill, I always check the transceiver's power setting when switching in an amp. I had 200 watt Yaesu transceivers before buying Elecraft so I learned to be cautious. The only thing tricky about my K3S is that since the same knob does multiple functions I have accidentally changed my compression setting on occasion.

What wrong with the system already in place. We asvopetators need to shoulder some responsibility in the operation of our radios.

All:

How difficult would it be to implement a power limit option through firmware to prevent exceeding per-band drive levels when the amp is on?

A similar option is currently available on the K3S for transverter power limits so it seems possible.
