Hi Antenna is correct, VOX on, checked cw weight. However, perhaps it's my Antenna. When I tune with 10w through my kpa500 all is well. Output is at around 300w. Voice is fine at 500w. However when I try to send some cw through the terminal program, the KAT500 goes crazy, has a fault, the kpa500 shows all red in swr and then stops transmitting. At that point even if I turn off the amp and clear the kat500 there is no power out. It sounds different than when I transmit on 160. There no clicking no issues. Even at 500 w same antenna.
Put KAT500 into tune, HOLD Tune on the K3, and let it tune at your tune power [>20W]. Then put KAT500 into MAN mode and see what happens. I run MAN all the time, KAT500 doesn't try to tune.
