I'm relieved to hear that!
I had heard some rumor that the ARRL insurance wasn't that great, but I
understand that they changed carriers.
Do they offer a true replacement cost for items?
That's what it says on my homeowner's policy, but after filing a claim I

Yes, they offer true replacement cost. There is a $50 deductible on claims.
If you're replacing a high-end rig (like a K3/K3S), you're going to come out
very well.

On VHF this effect can often be seen due to aircraft scatter, ie doppler

So lots of possible explanations.

Check the voltages on Q8. When the K2 is powered, you should have 12
volts on the gate and the drain should go to a low voltage.
That in turn should make Q1 conduct.
