Absolutely! Heat buildup due to protection devices that cycle can be very
damaging, which exactly why you don't see self resetting circuit breakers in
aircraft and very few in cars.

Tom,
He was talking about the reduction in power to a 5 watt limit when the
KX1 is switched to the internal batteries.
His external power source is apparently AC line driven, and the AC power
goes out.

Wouldn't it be better to find out what's causing the power drop and
fix it?
You shouldn't be having power drops when transmitting at 8 watts.
By the way, you didn't say which Elecraft rig you are using...

Not at present. We drop power and keep it there until the operator corrects the
issue, then turns power back up. This seems to be a safer approach than having
power come back up by itself, since power outages can cycle.

is there a way to add to the firmware a power detect mode that if your
on say 12 running 8 watts and power goes out and it drops to 5 watts out
to have it reset to 8 watts when the power comes back ?
