>Further to my last email, when I am in Basic mode, with PA MODE set to OFF and the KXPA100 on/off switch set to ON, I get full power out and no dissipation.  When PA MODE is ON and the on/off switch set to OFF, the KX3 acts like the KXPA100 is connected to it but there is no power output from the KXPA100 but all the power it produces is being dissipated.  Some setting is probably wrong, but I can't figure out which one.











I'd suggest checking the ACC2 IO setting in the KX3 to make sure Tx keying isn't being inhibited. It's also possible that the interface cable is faulty. 




There's also the usual advice to make sure the firmware is current. My club's KX3 and KXPA100 were very unreliable until I updated their 2-3 year old firmware. Mostly intermittent problems with the ATU and even recognizing they're connected, but all that went away with fresh firmware.
