Thank you to all the wonderful hams who sent emails to help me this weekend.
Thinking I had a K3 problem and really didn't.  However, I don't
understand.....I wasn't able to connect with anyone for 7-28 MHz even though
the Pal Star watt meter showed 100 watts and little SWR.  In desperation and
eliminating other possibilities, I put an analyzer on the coax to the beam
and it measured infinity across it's range.  I obviously have a coax or beam
problem.  BUT, why did the power meter read as it did?  If that had been
screwy, I would have immediately checked the antenna.  Antenna guys are
coming Friday and soon I'll be happily on the air again.
 
What a wonder reflector and company to offer help for what ever the problem.
I'm so glad I have a K3.
 
Phil
