This problem is not unique to the K3. My Yaesu FT-1000mp does the same thing -- locks up in transmit mode with no RF output and I have to turn it off to regain control. The lock up is intermittent, and some days it never happens. Rebooting everything works for a while, but when I least expect it, the lockups will start again.

Looking at the P3 I see a jitter on the upper half of the screen as if there was a tiny output but no Rf is seen on any of the three SWR meters in line (K3s, AP3 & LP-100A). I couldn't get WSJT to receive, looked at the settings, all were correct and as is sometimes needed with WSJT-X, I rebooted to get it to work properly but it still did not lock onto the K3s frequency. Rebooted again and then I realized the K3s was in that TX condition with both the red & yellow LEDs lit and that jitter on the P3 upper screen. This happens every so often and what I have to do is touch any of the buttons on the K3s and it disengages this situation. I did that to deal with the issue I mentioned above. I could restart the K3s but then I'd have to restart LP-Bridge and wait, so I use the quick fix. Anyone experience this and figure out how to prevent it?
