[Elecraft] K3 SWR reading fault with PA

[John Petters]

Hi Folks,
A problem occured last night.
I have the K3 with the 100 watt PA.
SWR with the QRP amp, i.e. below 12 watts is perfect according to the K3 
meter.
When I increase power the  SWR goes high and so does the current. I 
tried this on dummy load and the same problem exists.
One clue - there was a thunderstorm fairly close by. It was a rumble in 
the distance although the static crashes were loud. Does this indicate I 
may have popped the SWR diodes?
Suggestions appreciated.
