[Elecraft] KPA500 Power problems

[hawley, charles j jr]

I've had that, but the K3 power goes to a hundred watts which causes it. I'm thinking that rf gets into the cable and tells the K3 to go back to 100 watts as if the KPA500 were switched to standby. Cycling the KPA between standby and on resets it.
