I’ve been very happy with N4UQ but I have heard of Island Amplifiers.
No, I think the problem is in the K3 actually… Allen R.

Here are the symptoms: Power up…ok lights turn green after time delay As soon as I press the SSB button, receiver is greatly attenuated. Output is still good, but it seems like the amp drops out occasionally. When I try to switch back to standby, the amp will not (lights stay red) and receiver is still attenuated. I have to turn power off to get full receiver signals back. I found out that if I pull the keying line from the K3, the amp goes to standby and the receiver comes back. K3 issue? I hope not…I just got it back from Elecraft. Anyone seen this problem before? Think it is something fixable here? Geez, nothing but bad luck with ham gear for the last year… ☹ 73, Allen R.
