[Elecraft] KX3 error message

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

That sounds suspiciously like you have a problem with the antenna and 
feedline in the mobile installation.
Check everything for good tight connections, especially the connections 
to the vehicle ground.

When I got home I put my KX3 on a dummy load and no error message. I then put the KX3 on my home MFJ 1788 loop antenna and no error message or SWR anomalies. I am not sure what was going on and never had that problem in the mobile before. Any ideas would be great.
