How is PA overtemp/current displayed on the K3?
During the WAE rtty contest at least twice I noticed that the rig was in TX,
but there was
no power output. I did not see any warning message on the rig's display.
Next time called
upon transmit was fine. However, later on I did get an unsolicited shut
down on the same
rig. PA temperatures did make it into the low 50's sending QTCs.
When a fault occurs, to the point of shutting off output power, is the fault
display fleeting
enough that I could have missed it? (I was running SO2R and not watching
the affected
radio).
