Don, Looks like I'll have to do that as it is happening on TUNE. I was trying to elimate all the obvious problems first. 73 Colin, G3PSM On 29/07/2017 17:22, Don Wilhelm wrote: Colin, Does the K3 shut down operating into a dummy load when TUNE is selected? If so, then there is a

Colin, Does the K3 shut down operating into a dummy load when TUNE is selected? If so, then there is a problem with your K3 - contact support. If it operates fine into a dummy load in TUNE, then suspect a PA temperature problem. It may be that you have a bad PA, but again the folks at
