Stephen,
I experienced the same thing with a Begali Adventure Mono. I forget
exactly how it's wired, but something was shorting between either tip or
ring and shield (I don't remember which). For me, I took off the grey
piece at the the end of the Adventure Mono and looked at it. The ground
is just compressed. Some strands had come loose and were making up with
the dit side. I re-wrapped it and I haven't had any more issues.

Occasionally, at 100W I get the internal keyer locking up, sending a string

enough for me to worry more about it - it is, in fact, quite embarrassing!
When it happens it always sends dits and can be stopped by a further tap of
either paddle (Begali). I'm using the cable supplied with the Begali, with
it wrapped around a 'significant' ferrite (appropriate material type) just
before it enters the socket on the back of the K3.
Despite the origin of the cable, I shall try another one that I know is
well-shielded, but wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem?
