This condition has been seen on my K-3 when operating on 6 meters in FT8 mode. The K-3 will run for about 45-60 minutes in continuous contact mode, then all of a sudden will shutdown and only transmit 5 watts to the KPA500 amp. The PA temp menu shows the amp at 35 degrees C. The FT8 mode uses 15 second transmissions and cycles 4-5 times in 2 minutes. Normal PA temp is 25 degrees C before transmitting.
Is anyone else having this issue with the K-3? Serial number of this K-3 is 5192.
