Towards the end of CQWW CW, I was having issues with the K3 not getting back to receive when I stopped transmitting. This was an intermittent problem - if I keyed the radio again with a dit or two, I could get back to full receive. I could still hear signals, but greatly attenuated when the relay would hang up. I was using QSK with the K3 and my Alpha 87A. I am not seeing any fault indication on the 87A and I am trying to figure out if the problem is in the K3. I also have a KPA500 but have not used it in a contest lately to know if the problem would repeat with another amplifier or barefoot. It seems to happen only after heavy use. I think I experienced it a week earlier in the WAE RTTY contest as well, but did not do as much operating as in CQWW.
