I think you may have hit on it, Bill. Say it's a pulse-regulated
controller on the battery is on the soft side. BTW -- most solar charge
controllers put out a lot of RF noise. The only good pulsing
controllers I've found are the MPPT controllers made by Genasun.

Another question to help diagnose the problem if it's the battery --
what's the DC voltage at the battery in RX mode? In TX mode? What does
the K3 internal voltmeter read for RX and TX?

The word that struck my attention is "solar" and the possibility of that
controller causing noise. When you were connected to just the battery and
dummy load, was the battery disconnected from the solar system?
