with that sort of power level, you are looking at several devices failing, and making the system deaf as a post.
KK4QDZ - Now with Extra Class Priv's, and a tiny KX3 to enjoy them! From: David Gilbert <xda...@cis-broadband.com> To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2015 3:46 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 FD report in high RF (K3 vs Flex 6xxx) "Maybe it was something with the setup." That's an understatement. Running kilowatt-level power on the same band to two antennas only 20 feet apart is simply crazy. I don't know what input protection the KX3's have, but they almost certainly kicked in and being inherently non-linear they would have generated all sorts of high level trash on the front end. It would be interesting to see the math, but I think you're lucky you didn't blow the heck out of both front ends in spite of the protection.
