[Elecraft] K3 Receiver slow to recover ?

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary,

The fact that the antenna SWR is low on TX only rules out the antenna 
and feedline.  If there are any relays in the path (such as an amplifier 
T/R relay), the TX will be through a different set of contacts than RX.
Physically remove the amplifier from the picture (re-route the coax) - 
if the problem is cured, the amp relay is at fault, bt if it persists, 
then the K3 is to blame.
