On page 63 in the KPA100 manual (CW keying and PTT-section) there is a

Check the coax between the K3 and the dummy load. Best check is to
connect an antenna analyzer to the end connnected to the K3 with the

Do you have the coax connected to the right antenna port?

Way back during the field test one or two fellows pumped about 40 watts

The issues with higher powers are:

The small magnetic loop has a lower RDF (RX Directivity Factor- see the W8JI

The mode/submode are per band settings. If you did not have your Data
