[Elecraft] K3 bad TX

[Toni Lindén]

Hi!

I was trying K3 for first time in SAC contest a couple of weeks ago.

During the contest I got multiple reports that besides of my run
frequency, I also had other reasonable strong signals "around the
band".

It cleared out that I had at least one other signal about 7kHz away
from my actual freq. It was quite strong, maybe 40dBs down from my
running freq.

Have anyone else had similar problems and do you have any suggestion
how to fix this?

I was using only about 60 to 70 watts drive for the amp and amp was
not pushed over. The same appears on both, CW and SSB. Radio has the
most resent FWs available via K3 utility SW.

I'm planning to take K3 with me to CU2 for CQWW, but after getting
such a bad reports about "my 2nd pileup" on the same band, I'm not
sure if I'm willing to make such an interference to others on CQWW...

So if anyone has any advice, I'm more than pleased to hear!
