[Elecraft] K3 shuts off

[David Pratt]

Does this happen with the K3 fed to a 50 ohm dummy load, Mike?  If not, 
check that the antenna impedance is not too low, as it could be if you 
are using a quarter-wave end fed.  See bottom on p61 of the manual (Rev 
D2).  My K3 closes down on 160m with a 132ft longwire.
