My K3 has a KAT3 installed. When operating split on 40 meters it is 
necessary to tune one of my TX antennas. Following the successful tune 
operation (1:1 match) an attempt to call results in very low (<2 watts) 
output power. Neither talking nor whistling causes the power to return 
to 100 watts. I have to swap VFOs, switch to CW and key the rig to get 
the power back to the requested value. Then, of course, return to LSB 
mode, swap VFOs back so that I'm transmitting on the correct frequency.

Based on Jim's description I believe he is having the same problem.
