Thanks to the relays, Eric WB9JNZ and Carl K8NU. This station was 
suffering from what ultimately was operator error.  I was on AM for some 
reason, and although the indicators on the K3s were properly showing it 
(LSB and AM-S were on), I somehow kept thinking the AM-S indication was 
for the VFO-B which I was not transmitting on.  Like I said operator 
error, which I only figured out after reloading all the firmware, and I 
came within a hair's breath of resetting the radio to factory default, 
but somehow at that point it dawned on me what was going on, especially 
because all the other bands were operating 'normally'.

Well, at least I know my radio and amp can do AM just fine, thank you. 
:-)
My apologies to the net for all the foolishness, and hopefully all will 
be all right next week.  Phew!

Hope to see you next week!

73,
