Thanks everyone. To respond to the numerous good suggestions, happens on all bands, but I use one antenna for all bands. I started the contest with my antenna coming direct to the K3. Not having much luck, I changed to the amp/external tuner. Happened both ways. That leaves a couple of coax connectors, a balun and the ladder line feed. Sounds like the next step is a quick and dirty antenna to the RX antenna input.
Thanks again. Ron W3ZV On 10/30/2010 3:20 PM, Ron W3ZV wrote: > Started to play in the CQWWSSB. K3 started to exhibit intermittent loss > of gain after a transmission.
