I believe with DATA A mode you should be setting the input audio level to get 4-5 bars of ALC, then setting the Power out on the rig for the power level desired. If you do not have this level of ALC action, then the radio tries to increase the gain to bring the level up. This may be the source of your "power creep". Set the audio level first, with the rig in TX TEST mode to get 4-5 bars of ALC, then set the PWR control to the desired output level. Do not adjust the audio input levels to set your output RF power.
