Well set it in the menu and don't touch it again.

I have also heard (I've never done this myself) that some people will
use RG-174u coax between their IF rig and the transverter.  I'm told
just calculate just how much power loss from max you need and
translate that to the signal loss of the 174u to figure length.  This
way no matter where the power on the IF rig is set you'll never over
load the transverter.
