[Elecraft] K3 3 second delay in receive after transmit keyed, when amp on

[Bob McGraw]

Although very little information was provided, I've observed when this 
occurs, it is usually due to something that caused a flash-over in my 
amp or my tuner, such having the wrong antenna selected or other less 
than a stellar condition.   This includes excessive RFI in the shack, or 
common mode current on the feed line.    Since the bare description was 
"when amp on", clearly indicates a RF power related condition.

Take Jim's, K9YC, advice and be sure every piece of equipment cabinet is 
bonded with a dedicated ground/bonding jumper.    Also, it may be 
necessary to have common mode chokes at the antenna feed point.

The bottom line as I see it, it is not specifically equipment related 
but more so of the station installation and configuration.
