I did a similar thing with my TS-850. It smoked a lot of relays in the antenna
tuner. I had them replaced, but have not powered it up since It was returned.

So brought the K3 in to work this morning to our lab area where we have
static benches, blowers, wrist straps etc. and opened it up. Sure enough,
the T4 transformer was pretty crispy looking. My boss who is also an avid

I'd suggest to replace the toroid core, as the high temperatures to which it
was subjected may have altered the characteristics of the material.

Ferrite materials have to get pretty hot for that to happen. My guess is

just started some tests when my buddy starting yelling that I was letting

Hi Mike,
Probably just smoked T4, the voltage sampling transformer in the SWR
