If you have another receiver, run a two-test and listen to the K3 output in a
narrow BW. Ideally, the two tones will be considerably stronger than the first

The power limit for most hams and ham bands is 1.5 KW PEP output. The rules
don't state where the output is measured. I assume it's at the antenna since
the transmission line is part of my transmitter's matching system. With lossy
lines, 2.5 KW at the line input doesn't seem unreasonable.

Actually, it you are talking about tube amps---typically the ones that need
tuning---then although it may seem objectionable, tuning into the actual load,
at the power level you are going to run is the appropriate thing to do.

My experience (admittedly ancient) is that good quality and Mirage said in the
same sentence is an oxymoron, or in other words, a mirage.
RF Concepts amps were fine.

It says OT right at the beginning. That said, I believe this might be of
interest to many Elecraft owners, particularly considering the QRP DNA of the
founders and many of the faithful.
Personally, I'm in favor of more nuclear power and I live in Arizona, where it
is alleged that solar is the

is the conjugate of the antenna Z.
Regardless, use a 1:1 current balun.

If I had to guess, which is exactly what I'm doing, I think either the LPA or
the HPA is generating a spurious signal and it sees a mismatch into your BPF. I
would try to get it into this state and use your other radio to sniff around.

But it allows my logging program(s) to read the K3 and K3S frequency and my
SDR-IQ to track the K3s. And it's free.
Why should I complain?

As a point of reference, my old K3 with the original synthesizer board pops when
