[Elecraft] Buddipole

[KARL MARDERIAN]

  Hi, N6xvt/Karl here,
I have a Buddipole. I set it up correctly for 20 m. When I tuned up my K3 I got about 1.1/1.2 SWR. I would imagine it tunes at about 5-10 watts. If I transmit at 1-10 watts it seems to run fine. At 100 watts the K3 shuts itself of at the second CQ I send. I am on SSB. If I hook up a dummy load to the K3 it runs fine at any power setting. I live in an apartment on the second floor. The Buddipole is outside on the balcony. I am running the cable that came with the Buddiploe. I have tried both ANT one and two.

                           Thanks for any info.
