I got a number of reports from SS CW of spurious signals. I have isolated it to one K3 (S/N 4498). With the KPA3-100 disabled (below 12 watts) the signal is clean. From about 13 watts to 90 watts, there are spurious signals about every 1KHz + and - the carrier frequency. The frequency of the spurs changes as the power control is advanced and the signal becomes clean again at about 90W. This happens on 80, 20 and 10 (the only bands this radio has antennas for). Also, the power output is unstable on the wattmeter and the SWR apparently changes continually indicating a wandering spur.
Any ideas?
