suggest setting the WSJT-X Setup to Fake it.

Jim;
Make sure you are updated to the latest 5.67 Firmware.
In the notes of the K3 Utility you will find this in the Help\K3
Firmware Release Notes;
It is specific for 6m, it is -only- for the KPA3"A", and will fix any
oscil
Thanks Jim,
It is a real puzzler.

SWR is fine with CW, problem only occurs with FT8. Same antenna, same coax,
same frequency.
Only occurs on 6M.

Are you sure there is no breakdown in your antenna, feedline or
external antenna switch? Infinite SWR on the external meter would
indicate an issue
Does it do this if you transmit a long carrier into your antenna using the
tune button? Can you transmit FT8 into a dummy load OK?

I would hook the K3 up directly to the 6m antenna or the dummy load.
Something is certainly acting odd.

Are you sure there is no breakdown in your antenna, feedline or

Installed the new KLPA3A & KPA3A and passed LP and HP TX Calibration.
My 6M beam measures 1.06 SWR on analyzer.
