[David F. Reed]

Joel,

thanks for the help; typically I am not in the shack when this happens.
Software sometimes running WSJT-X, sometimes DXLab suite.
Firmware revisions: KX3 - MCU: 02.38, DSP 01.37 ... KXPA100 - 01.35

thanks & 73 de W5SV, Dave

The KX3 has (without my doing anything) reset the PA Mode to Off, and the PWR to 5.0.  When this happens, let's say I have power set to 30 watts; the KXPA100 shuts down and to get it back up, I have to go to the KX3, re-enable PA MODE from Off to On, and and reset the PWR level from 5.0 watts to 30 watts.
