I use a 99 with the K3 and any length coax works just fine, it there is SWR on the line there is a problem someplace, have never had to cut a coax to any particular length. If theres SWR its either a ground differential problem between the amp and radio chassis or the tuned input is not correct, or the amps input resistor has been cooked.
