Bert,
I also have the problem, and it IS NOT rf getting into the shack.
It will happen with 1 watt. It is a function of wsjt-x and may be
related to using split. I have never seen the problem when NOT using
split. The problem usually appears when clicking on a new station to
answer a CQ, and the split has to change.
The systems will return to normal in the next 15 second segment if
nothing else is touched, or somtimes will return to normal sooner if the
"halt tx" button is clicked on.
I also see the problem when using other radios than the K3, I have
an IC-7000 and ANAN-10E that also get used for wsjt-x.
The problem has occured in wsjt-x versions 1.8 rc2, rc3 and release
1.8 I not remember seeing the problem before version 1.8 rc2, but can
not be sure.
I now have about 1,500 FT8 contacts in the log, so I use FT8 a lot.

The CAT and PTT are on different COM ports, per the installation instructions
for the microKEYER II when using WSTJ-X. And it's not a stray RF problem as I
have all the equipment bonded together, ferrite cores on the audio and control
lines, a line isolator in the feedline where it enters the house, and line
isolators between the rig and amp and between the amp and antenna tuner. The
lockup happens when running only 30 watts with FT8. It never happens when
running a KW on many other modes. I run RTTY, PSK and other digital modes with
no problems.
Thus, I suspect the issue is associated with the WSRJ-X software as the same
issue occurs with various transceivers in multiple locations.

Bert and Gary,
Have you looked for a computer problem? Such as having both PTT via command
and via an RS-232 signal line? Do you have both VOX on and another means of
keying the transceiver?

This problem is not unique to the K3. My Yaesu FT-1000mp does the
same thing -- locks up in transmit mode with no RF output and I have
to turn it off to regain control. The lock up is intermittent, and
some days it never happens. Rebooting everything works for a while,
but when I least expect it, the lockups will start again.
