Just been operating cw on 80m at 100w and after a while of 'everything normal' I noticed the power dropping and then coming back up...one time it went as low as 24w and then jumped back up. Power indication on VFO B follows the power drop, SWR seems ok but I confirmed it was doing same into a dummy load; PA temp was showing about 39 C only.
Seem to remember the same sort of thing happening a while ago but so long ago I can't remember if it disappeared with a firmware change or what. 73, Stewart Rolfe, GW0ETF (K3 145) Joe Stofko-2 wrote: > > > > Max, > > I also noted this with my K3 last week. > My guess is that this is a burp in the latest > firmware.
