Gary and others, Yes, I momentarily saw it working okay on 6 meters when I did a brief transmission on that band.
Unfortunately, as I don't have an antenna for 6 meters, the K3 encountered a high SWR there. And now it outputs only about 5 watts on each band (also in CW mode) when I've dialed an output power less than 12W. If I select a power level over 12W, so the KPA100 should kick in, I get no output whatsoever. So maybe I broke something now. :-( Or the cryptic bug has manifested itself in the CW mode too. Any ideas whether I could do a software reset of the radio? Fingers crossed here now...
