In SSB mode, until you speak into the mike, there is no output signal in
transmit mode. Switch to CW mode, key the radio via an external key or
paddle and see what you have. Or press XMIT/TUNE function for 2
seconds. You should have output. Also check to see what value of PWR
is set on the radio. I use 20 watts for TUNE for all bands when the
KPA500 is in OPER mode.

I have a K3, P3, KAT500 and KPA500. I was listening in the middle of a QSO and
lost signal.
I tested my antenna with a back up transceiver and the antenna and coax are
good.
The P3 still shows signals but only hiss comes out of the K3?s speaker.
Keying the k3 by pressing the attached foot pedal turns on the red Tx light on
the K3 but the display on the KPA500 shows an asterisk to the left of the power
out reading of zero on its display.
No signal goes to the antenna and nothing besides hiss comes out of the speaker.
What should I do next?
Thanks. W9ZD
