Toby, I was operating RTTY AFSK mode. Driving K3 from my computer sound card. I was using VOX or PTT. At the start of transmission the output power of the K3 would jump to 50W. However the power of K3 was adjusted to 25W level. So, K3 would put out 50W at first and than quickly go back to proper level of 25W.
This would put my AMP in to fault every time. Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?
