[Elecraft] [ELECRAFT] K3: Help! No output on 80m CW

[Tom Blahovici]

Hi
Antenna is correct,  VOX on, checked cw weight. However, perhaps it's my Antenna. 
When I tune with 10w through my kpa500 all is well. Output is at around 300w. Voice is fine at 500w. 
However when I try to send some cw through the terminal program, the KAT500 goes crazy,  has a fault, the kpa500 shows all red in swr and then  stops transmitting. At that point even if I turn off the amp and clear the kat500 there is no power out.  It sounds different than when I transmit on 160. There no clicking no issues. Even at 500 w same antenna.
