Dave,

Test the coax with your dummy load attached to the far end - remove the 
PL-259 from the K3 and measure the resistance between the center 
conductor and the shell - if it reads something vastly different than 50 
ohms, replace the coax.

OTOH, if you find the resistance is 50 ohms, make certain you have the 
PL-259 connected to the selected ANT1 or ANT2 jack.  If the problem 
persists, send an email to K3support at elecraft.com for further assistance.

73,
