It matches my setup and symptoms. I will turn the PA parameter off,

Ok on that, I did check that in menu, re 'AUTO OFF', and it is and was
set to 'infinite'.
There is also an 'ALARM' parameter with beeps, that turns the KX3 on,
not off.
The beeps heard before off was intriguing. I didn't see any screen
warnings at the Bezel.
Thankyou

I had that same problem. Check that you haven't set the timer to turn
off the radio after a certain period.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I wondered if it could be the PA overheating and
did some testing. The PA.I temp got up to about 42C and it didn’t power
off, so I am guessing it is the low internal voltage issue you mentioned.
I will check with support if it continues.

Be sure you haven't set the timer to turn off the KX-3 in order to save
battery power.

Hi -
I having been trying to find QSOs on 20m this weekend on my kx3 and AX-1
I have tried both with fully charged NimH AA batteries with power set to 5W
and with an external battery with power set to 15w.
On a few occasions, my kx3 has turned itself off. I see a flash of
asterisks on the screen
