I'm seeing a odd problem working digital today with my KX3. Sometimes
when I go into transmit (power set at 5W) JT65_HF, my Signalink shows
PTT active (red light) , the KX3 shows PTT active (red light) but no
power is being radiated. Antenna (dipole) has a near perfect match to
the KX3. Power still shows set to 5W on KX3. Problem remains if I
switch from the antenna to a dummy load. Osc and PA temp at 36 and 30C
- PSU stable at 13.4V. When I try to transmit is DATA A mode (tune)
power seems to try to ramp up and then immediately falls away. Radio
seems to transmit fine in FM mode. What am I missing please?
