I have just been alerted that a loose RJ-45 plug in the KXPA100 Control
jack can cause that same problem. Make sure the plug is fully inserted
and the locking tab has clicked into place.

David,
The KX3 may still be running by virtue of the internal batteries if the
KXPA100 power drops, but that will not prevent the KX3 from turning off
the PA ON menu and dropping the power to 5 volts.
Check your power cable - look in the end of the APP connector. If you
see the end of 2 pieces of metal (both the spring finger and the contact
blade) the contact blade is not latched, give it a push from the wire
side until it latches.
Check the connections at your power supply, they must be tight - if you
can move them at all, they are not tight. Also check the fuse and
fuseholder. The fuse must make tight contact with the fuseholder contacts.

Geoff,
Thanks for the idea... That might be it; I am not in the shack when it
happens, though if that were it, I would be surprised, as I have the
internal batteries in place, and I would have thought that the power
doesn't go away if the external supply drops. Could be just enough I
guess...
Thanks & 73 de W5SV, Dave

If supply power goes off even momentarily (instead of turning power
off on the KX3) that's exactly what happens. Check your supply would
be my first suggestion.
