Hi group, i observed a strange behaviour regading the power-setting in AM mode. When i switch to FM, transmit with 100W, switch to AM and press PTT again the K3 produces 100W dead-key. When i then adjust the power from 100W to 99W and back again to 100W it delivers the expected level of 25W

Jerry, I cannot answer about the P3, but the K3 was made sometime in 2009 as best I can decipher from the serial number. The KAT3 works very well, it will usually match an SWR of 10:1 - of course that depends on the exact reactance at th shack end of the coax, but the tuner itself is quite
