The guy who said to measure the voltage at the K3 gave you good advice.
An easy way to do this is to tap the DISP button and turn the VFO B knob
until it shows the voltage. Then see how much it drops during transmit.
Since the K3 tries to produce the requested power with whatever voltage
it

[Elecraft] My poor K3 I have had my K3 back to Elecraft repair TWICE in less
than a yearGot it back finally yesterday and put it on the air this
afternoonRunning 80w on CW on 20M and getting a high current alarm. What the
heck? Does it have to go back AGAIN?Man I was close
Ronnie,
Two thoughts:
1. What is your power supply output voltage with the K3 transmitting. This
measurement should be made at the K3. It should be approximately 13 volts.
2. Try transmitting into a 50 ohm dummy load vs. your antenna. Is there
any difference?
3. Repeat 1 with the K3
