I agree, Dick - power settings per band are fine. The issue is power
settings per band and per matching solution

Your K3 stores the power settings. The amp reports when it goes in and out of
OPER and the K3 (and K4) store two power settings per band, one for the amp in
STBY, another for amp in OPER. You adjust these levels at the exciter, and
they’re retained for recall on band switch and power off/on. Mine are typically
100w for amp in STBY and 25-35w for amp in OPER. I’m primarily a CW guy, but in
digital modes I often drop down to see who I can reach with good antennas and
little power.
There are K3 and K4 menu choices for “Per band power” to enable this.

Precisely what I thought, Jim. The KPA-1500 already adjusts the K3's output
power when the amp switches to OPER, from 100 watts in STBY to a preset, much
lower value in OPER, but I don't know if they can store and recall drive power
levels by band and antenna

...I suspect that, to have the system automatically change power in the manner
that Pete needs, Elecraft would need to write software to remember and change
drive levels from the transceiver on command from the KPA1500.
