I had a similar problem with one of my K3's (#4576) starting last November.
Seemingly at random, output power dropped to around 35 watts. At low
power settings (less than 12 watts) power was limited to 3.5 watts. Sometimes
normal power output would be restored in a couple of hours, other times
Thanks Bill.
No broadcast stations within many miles, and no high-power AM transmitters at
all on Curacao!
No other transmitters here at PJ2T were active during my "power suck" event.

If you have the ATU, it can be fooled into thinking you have a
bad match by AM broadcast stations nearby. If you have a nearby
broadcast transmitter, a band reject filter is one solution.

This first thing I would do is check the voltage at the radio. There is a
voltmeter in my K3S so there probably is one in the K3. You could have a
power supply issue or just low voltage in Curacao. I try to maintain 13.5V
on TX.

I was running some stations on 160-meters this morning, and noted that the
power output had dropped from the amp.
Further investigation found that the maximum power out from the K3/100 was
reduced from ~100W to about 54W, with no error messages displayed on the K3.
