Thanks Wes and thanks for the other comments I received - especially an
offline exchange with WB6RSE. Looks like my stack has developed a problem
that has increased the SWR and that is the entire problem. It has always
been marginal on the SSB side of things and the additional degradation has
Since your amplifier is rated only to SWR = 1.5 maybe that is the issue. What's
the fault indicator telling you?

I've had my K3 for 8 years now and just love it... My only complaint is
that in SSB I have trouble throttling the power back enough to not
occasionally trip an Alpha 87A. The K3 just ignores the reins and charges
ahead... I notice this on a 40M sked where my antenna is close to 2:1 SWR

Hi Tom,
Since it behaves into a dummy load it's probably the SWR but you could also
take a closer look at the TX gain calibration. Even after running the
calibration routine I have had to touch up the numbers on a couple of bands.
Take a look at the K3 manual page 62 for TXGN{pwr}. The last
