Don,
understood; the cables and PS and its connections are fine. I expect
what is happening is I am occasionally losing line power, which shuts
down the PA without it communicating to the KX3; I think that is what is
resetting things...
Thanks for the help & 73 de W5SV, Dave

I have been corrected - last word of 1st paragraph should have been
'watts' instead of 'volts'.
I trust everyone knew that!

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.
