[Elecraft] K3 - WSJT-X help

I was on 20M at the time the problem arose. Will watch to see if it happens again as to what band and which antenna I am using.

I have had this happen intermittently when using the KPA1500 with my K3S. I’m pretty sure it’s an RF feedback issue with the PC + WSJT-X. Never happens when NOT on FT8.

Scratching my head. I was making Q's on FT8 with my K3 and WSJT-X, v2.0.1
when I no longer would get power out.

WSJT is keying the K3 (Red transmit light is on) but no power out. The K3
keys fine with power out in CW or other modes is fine. WSJT is talking to
the K3. WSJT shows the correct frequency, it is decoding and when I go into
Settings > Radio and hit Test CAT it goes green. When I hit TUNE on WSJT it
turns to red and the red TX light on the K3 comes on. But no power out. 



The typical setup is LP-Bridge, DXBase, DXBridge, WSJT-X. Yes, I know I need
to update to DXLab to properly interface. So I closed everything but WSJT-X
and have it talking directly to the K3. No difference. Also using the USB
interface on the K3.



Any ideas what could have happened and any suggestions? Maybe I bumped
something?
