Hello- I have read something about this problem before on the email
reflector, but do not remember what people said about the problem with
the k3 dropping power on 6 meters. I was sending cq in cw, and about
the 3-4 sequence of sending cq in cw the power dropped down to 5 watts
or so, or at least the 100 pa kick out. The swr on the the antenna is
about 1:9:1 before using tuner it the k3. Tuner show it at 1:0:1. I
was just wondering what might be going on here. The pa fans are kicking
on when running 95-100 watts out. I did notice, now that the book shows
to run 85 watts max on 51-52 mhz. That may be my problem. Anyway, I
was wondering if 85 watts is all that I should be running on 6 meters
at 50.095 mhz cw part of the band.
Thank-you
