Since your amplifier is rated only to SWR <= 1.5 maybe that is the issue. What's
the fault indicator telling you?

I've had my K3 for 8 years now and just love it... My only complaint is
that in SSB I have trouble throttling the power back enough to not
occasionally trip an Alpha 87A. The K3 just ignores the reins and charges
ahead... I notice this on a 40M sked where my antenna is close to 2:1 SWR
- It doesn't seem to misbehave into a dummy load so I'm thinking it is
related to that... (The antenna is a beam stack on a tower over 400 feet
away and not pointing at me so it's not an RFI issue...) I've rerun the
power calibration routines with no difference noted. Headset is a
Radiosport and mic gain is down to 5 compression level of 11.
I know this group will be able to tell me just how to correct this.
