Hello Peter,
I'm not an Elecraft transceiver user so I'll defer to others on the radio
specifics.
One thing to watch is that you're actually "seeing" the noise properly on the

not practical to manually switch from ANT-2 on receive back to ANT-1 for
transmit.

The balun (1:1 current choke here) is a red herring.
If you follow this thread all the way back, you'll see that the previous
antenna was not balun fed, and it used a length of 75 ohm cable and stubs to
match. And in this case the balun is made by InnovAntennas, specifically for
this antenna
I have never driven the amp with 90 Watts. Ever. The 90W figure is what comes
out of the K3s *after* the amp has tripped out. With the amp in 'operate' I
feed it typically 25-35 Watts.
Here are the error codes, as requested (truncated for length--there are MANY
more):

I haven't seen a discussion of your grounding system or feedline length. 6M can
be picky. What does your ground system look like

Are you using the same output connector on the KPA1500
and it still sends 1400-1450 Watts up the pipe..

To remove any doubt
. The only difference between "works reliably" and "faults out all
the time" is one is a resistive-only load, the other has a reactive
component.

of the tower has been replaced with brand new everything. The fault
conditions are identical to what was happening beforehand.

Many here suggested that it was most likely a feedline issue, and I figured
this was indeed a distinct possibility.
So this afternoon I replaced the feedline. I now have about 80 feet of brand
new LMR-400, new 83-SP1 connectors (and an Amphenol adaptor at the balun
since I don't have any type-N
/8" hardline and
RG-213 at the moment. Any thoughts on what might be going on here? Is there
a known-issue on 6m with the KPA?

I'm experiencing something similar. I have my sub-2 output connected to bass
shakers on my sofa, and the wiring picks up an incredible amount of RF on
20. As my wife found out when she was taking a nap in the room while I was
contesting. As soon as I switched to 20 she was getting rumbled to the
