If you have another receiver, run a two-test and listen to the K3 output in a narrow BW.  Ideally, the two tones will be considerably stronger than the first pair of sidebands.

I suspect they won't be, you'll have a lot more than two and you have a blown FET in the HPA.

Transmitted on my K3 for the first time since the 10-meter contest, and it is only showing 25 watts out on the built-in meter into a dummy load. Power output setting of the K3 is 100W, and same results seen on all bands. What could possibly be going on here?  Back to Watsonville?

The cruel karma of it all is that *yesterday* I ordered a KPA-1500.
