My K3 is shutting off on high power. CW and SSB. It seems to be drawing too
many amps and I am checking this on an external power supply (DAIWA PS-304).
I get the same results when I am on the dummy load and when I am on the
antenna. I didn't check six meters but here is the data. What's going on? Do
I need to reset the whole radio? :-((

3.8 mhz- 100w @ 28-30 amps.>>>> shuts off
4.1 mhz(Mars) 100W @ 20 amps       *stays on 
7.2 mhz  100w @ 25-30 amps           shuts off
14.2 mhz 100w @ 27-30 amps           shuts off
10.1 mhz 100w @ 28 amps                shuts off
18.1mhz 100w @20 amps              *stays on 
21.2 100w @ 28-30 amps              shuts off
24.930 100w @ 26-28 amps              shuts off
28.4 100w @ 25 amp                     * stays on

Six meters didn't test yet.
