My MFJ-4225V power supply sometimes trips off when I'm operating in 160M contests, giving me the same problem. If I'm running stations (calling CQ), after establishing a frequency I'll power the K3 off normally, then back on. Now if the P/S trips the K3 will come back up on the current

Nick, A quicker way to accomplish the same thing is to do a band change, then change back. The K3 stores the current frequency and mode when the band is changed. The K3 does store the current frequency after it has not been changed for some period of time - I believe that time is 30

Hi All, I am back from the TJ9PF DXpedition where I brouhgt my new K3 to use for the 6th station. We activated 6 stations for 10 days resulting in over 68,000 QSO's When working in some countries it is very common to have commercial AC power cuts randomly. This was a daily occurring feature
