Check all the coaxial cables that plug into the boards and front panel.
Make sure they go the right places. I would also check the way you have
decided to handle the coax going to the coax chassis connector SO239.
There are a couple of ways to do this depending on your options.

Many modern day radios can be made into beacons with their built in
memory keyers.
I used an FT-897 as a beacon in Montana when I lived there. You have to
turn the power down of course and it is over kill but it was simple.

Dick,
I am curious who do you think is going to pay for who ever it is to
build a system to you out in the desert?
That is a trade off for moving out in the boon docks. When we moved to
Colorado we had party lines. We lived in Parker and that was considered
at the time WAY out there.

Has anyone read the regulations that they kept hidden? Do we really
know what is in them?
I am not a big fan of the gov't sticking their fingers into everything.
I have no more trust in them handling this any better than everything
else the touch, regulate, control, etc.
I am quite skeptic

Not sure where this thread has wandered but I program M3 and M4 as
"quick splits" M3 will split up 1 on cw and M4 will split up 5. You
can insert filter combinations and other options if you wish. This is
easily done with the programming.
I am not sure if this helps.

It takes time. Proportionally more time to learn the code than it takes
to become proficient.
I can still remember sitting at the radio club meeting at our JR High
school. Listening to the gibberish and then finally getting a whole
word! From there on it was pretty simple. I am decent, cer
This is an issue. If you have a band decoder, want to run the preamp,
the amp, tuner, and say a Microham device. I have used multiple Y
adapters successfully.

The 590 has some short falls. No 2nd receiver, some issues on 10m.
Only one roofing filter.
I owned a couple of FT-2000's and they were easy to use. Looked pretty
cool but had some serious performance issues in the receiver. Sold them
and got a K3 and then another one.

Run the KX3 on battery and turn off your house mains and see if the
noise goes away. If not you know to start looking elsewhere. You might
also try the RFI reflector.

Have you set the baud rate in the K3 to that of the amp?
When the amp is moved from standby to Operate you should see a message
in the K3 that says KPA500.

For the $$$ the 590 is a pretty good radio.
The K3 gives you much more flexibility today or down the road.
