Hi,

I have a K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500 and a SignaLink for sound.  Sometimes when
I transmit on FT8 running full power on the KPA500, the KPA500 will click
on/off.  The power doesn't turn on/off, it seems like a relay inside.  The
power meter will go to about 500 watts, then down to 0, then to abut 500
watts...and down to 0 maybe once a second.  I have a short video I can send
if someone would like to see it.  When I bypass the KPA500 and use 50 watts
or so just on the K3, no issues.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

73, Fred
