[Elecraft] PTT stuck? Error?

A quick question.  I have a Heil Proset headset into the front of the K3.  
Sometimes when I fire up my ACOM 1000 amp I experience the following problem. I 
am running the K3 PTT relay thru an LP-100 and then into the amp, with a Palstar 
tuner on the output side from the amp.  SWR is about 1.2 or 1.3.  I use a PTT 
switch and it seems to "stick" open.  I am transmitting and when I release the 
switch it doesn't immediately stop TX. Depending on the power out this may be 
followed by an error message (which I forgot to record) that requires restarting 
the K3.  This only happens when the amp is turned on.  Ideas?

Thanks and 73
