For some unknown reason my K3 (897) tripped out 3 times last night when on
160m cw.
I was running 90w out with a 1 to 1 swr - auto ATU installed.
Each time I brought it back to life by hitting the POWER button.
It is a little disconcerting when in mid QSO!
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
This happens to me when SWR is a bit off, and also happened with my previous
rig. I haven't measured,
but I suspect that it's pulling more current, making the power supply voltage
drop. I can usually
avoid the condition by turning power back a little - say to 70 or 80 W. The
power supply is rated for
25 A.
