I suggest that you make sure that you have run the Calibrate
Transmitter gain in the configuration section of the Elecraft K3
Utility. That fixed an issue I had that was similar to yours.

Hi Larry,
You can interface the K3 with the Quadra via the procedure described here:

The page describes the interface to an Icom exciter, but will work with the

Running the utility trying to access an invalid port should not cause any
problems at all, except that you won't be able to communicate with the K3.
And invalid or missing port should not cause it to hang in any way.
The first step is to load the Utility with *nothing* connected between the

Allen, I know nothing about the K2 or the KAT-100, but I have experience with
the folks at Aptos. They don't bite, don't even growl! They know their stuff!
I can't think of any better place to ask for help with Elecraft products.

That is a real mystery, the K3 has no internal battery, so if there is
