[Elecraft] CW Splatter?

[Fred Jensen]

If it really IS on your signal and not an issue at the receiving end 
[more likely], that sounds like arcing in your antenna/feedline system.  
Arcing at 10 W seems strange, but it can be "micro-arcs" inside a poorly 
assembled connector. Before tearing anything apart, I'd arrange for a 
test or two with others.  I would be very surprised if it had anything 
to do with your KX3.  For some reason, human nature is to always assume 
the worst for a cause.
