Hi Bill
You probably smoked the KANT board.
The 8mhz trap seems to get smoked by nearby high power transmitters. This happened to 2 of our clubs K3's in a field day operation. We just replaced the parts and cleaned up the crispy critters(the tracks)!
This happened with widely separated antennas and separate power supplies.
You just about have a heart attack when smokes pours out of the K3!
I would not panic, just check the KANT3 board, I could be wrong!
