Bob,
Does the same thing happen if you operate into a dummy load?
If all is OK into a dummy load, then the K3 is OK, but you have
RF-in-the-shack issues to resolve - add current mode chokes to your
antenna feedlines.

Except that 10 meters was mentioned my first check would be that the
audio level is set wrong for digital modes.
thanks for the input.
I just verified that the ALC bars are as described. Line-In and so forth
are set ...
But this wouldn't be band-specific would it?
It's now not just ten meters. What I don't recall is the last time I
actually TRIED to run more than 5 to 10w on a digital mode,
So here's the break-down:
10,12,15,17,20 all toggle to near zero when the click is heard as power
on the K3 is increased from circa 11.8 thru 12w (when I hear a click and
the K3 HP 100 watt deck is activated). None of these will put out more
than 6 to 8 watts despite what the RF power says it thinks the K3 is doing.
40,60,80,160 all will transmit 1 through 100w on TX-Data through the
soundcard.
On CW, 160 thru 10m will xmit 100w .
the number of ALC bars is fairly constant through the bands, in Tx-Data
mode, when sending via the Soundcard.
