Hi Tom,
sounds like a problem with either your antenna (or coax or connectors)
or maybe RF in the shack? A friend of mine had a similar problem (only
on 160 m) and it turned out the KAT500 picked up RF through one of the
cables connected that drove the KAT500 internal frequency counter nuts.
The average power of voice is far below that of CW. If there is a corroded
connection that is heating up and failing, then cooling and reconnecting,
it could be happening with CW and not SSB. Try reducing the output of the
KPA500 to 100 watts on CW and see if the trouble goes away.
We one time had

My experiences are different. For small knobs you need to use high
quality wrenches. Those .050 do work if you have a good one. It's
amazing how much twist you can put in a high quality Allen wrench
while trying to deal with a stubborn screw. The next thing is to
make sure that you have the
torque over the screw's full
diameter.

The scope says otherwise. The K3 has a

Yes, AMP KEY does not drop until after RF generation stops. I don't recall ho
