Well, I found the problem. I had been playing with PL DEV at
Wayne't request back in September. Wayne wanted to know what the
minimum deviation that would work on the transverters.

2. To adjust the PL DEViation, locate the FM DEV menu entry,
then tap '1' to switch to PL DEV. This applies to both the K3
and KX3.
I had dialed it back to 0.15, the minimum and everything worked
well on 2M, but I hadn't tried 6M. When I raised the value from
0.15 to 0.21 the repeater started working. (It fails at the
intermediate setting of 0.18). The raspy tone I heard on the KX3
was audio feedback with the speaker too close to the mic.
Thanks for Michael Eberle, KI0HA for mentioning FM deviation. It
helped me remember that I had performed the experiment.
