I also had these symptoms with my K3. Fortunately my troubleshooting was very easy because my K3 would 'de-sense' every time I would switch from my tri-bander to my 40m yagi. Poor weather proofing at my antenna switch at the TOP of the tower was the culprit. Thus...NEVER put an antenna switch at the top of your tower plus weather your connections once and then go back and do it again! 73, Tom - W4BQF

(IC746 on 2 meters). The problem was a coax / coax connection. I replace the defective piece of coax. I no longer trust "finger tight" connections. I use a small pair of ignition pliers to gently snug things up.
