Just to make sure that was a typo you said K2??
I did your test on my K3S and I am getting about 55 watts on the meter
Any other ideas?
Thank you so much

Rich,
Connect an external wattmeter and a dummy load.
Then set the K2 power to 50 watts and do a TUNE.
What is the actual power output? If it is much greater than 100 watts
(as I suspect), then you do not have power control and that says that
the wattmeter in the KPA100 has been damaged - likely from static
coming in on the feedline.
Replace D16 and D17 in the KPA100 and the problem should go away.

I am having an issue with distorted audio once the KPA100 kicks in at
about 10-12v.
The KPA100 is putting out 100 watts
I have re-calibrated the radio with no change.
I am testing with the hand mic and a dummy load. Which should
eliminate any external devices causing it
Any suggestions as to what can be causing this issue?
