[Elecraft] K3S USB intermittently disconnects when transmitting

[Jerry Moore]

I first experienced this in a different room using a Buckmaster dipole at 35’. Issue occurred with 100w and with 40w, Only seems to happen with CW. I have been able to reproduce the error sometimes in test mode so no RF goes out (I’m currently attending CW Academy). 

I’ve changed offices and now use a 20m hamstick. 

 

I only intermittently have the issue when sending CW in test OR transmitting.

Hi Jerry

 

RF in the shack? Describe your antenna, feedline, distance and choking and maybe some of us can help.

I've checked the connections and can't seem to find anything to explain why
the USB disconnects from my PC when transmitting. It's not consistent.
Ideas?
