Mike,
Thanks for the comment. I only have one K3 with one P3. My configuration is:
K3/P3 —> KPA500 —> TX Mon Sensor —> LP100A Sensor —> KAT500 —> 80-meter
Dipole
I first noticed the spike with the RED LEDs on both the KAT500 and the KPA500.
I was not looking
at the SWR display on the P3 although the second time I did notice that it too
spiked (max reading).
Like I said, I was operating CW and when I sent just the first dit of a QNI
into a CW net the spike occurred.
I stopped, and then keyed again and everything was normal. The second time
that I did this, I thought that
maybe the spike was momentary and continued keying but the second or third key
down action (actually, a paddle)
resulted in fault with the KPA500.
Last night, I did not have any problems at all because I disconnected the TX
Mon sensor. I will continue
experimenting though as I don’t have too many data points yet to draw
conclusions.
