[Elecraft] K3: FW 2.02 TUNE problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Knut,

Intermittent can often indicate that something is loose.

Have you checked the cable between the K3 and your external SWR meter?  
Could it be faulty?  Ar the PL-259s tight? - they depend on tight 
contact for a good connection to the shield, Type N and BNCs are better 
IMHO because they do not depend on the tightness of the connector for a 
good connection.

73,
