Glad you survived with less damage and mostly inconvenience. Usually
one has to gather real-life experience to know what to have and do
next time. I lived in earthquake country for 40+ years (10 in CA,

Hi folks
I do have three K3 on my contest station

Oms,
What mode? If this problem is in a soundcard driven data mode, be
certain you have enough audio input to the K3 - you need to drive the
ALC indicator up to at least 4 bars and to the point where the 5th bar
has just turned on. The K3 ALC meter is actually an audio level meter

My MFJ-4225V power supply sometimes trips off when I'm operating in 160M

I'll power the K3 off normally, then back on. Now if the P/S trips the

A quicker way to accomplish the same thing is to do a band change, then
change back. The K3 stores the current frequency and mode when the band
is changed.
The K3 does store the current frequency after it has not been changed

Has anyone compared the K3 internal current meter to an accurate external
meter? My K3 meter reads about 20A, when the actual current is 23 A, with no
accessories connected. That's a huge error, and it's not linear.

It is not likely that the ghost images are coming from the K3 itself, so
narrow roofing filters are not likely to help.
The ghost images normally are associated with something in the audio
