K3 CW Chirp

Dana Roode
Just finished operating the California QSO Party as K6VO.  I received a
report of a bad CW chirp and have a recording of how that sounded.  Has
anyone had any issues with K3s chirping?  At this point it's only reported
on 80 meter CW, so it may be RF getting somewhere.  I think my power supply
is good.  I have not been able to recreate yet listening to a remote
receiver.

Any initial thoughts appreciated.

I got a report of my K3 chirping a few years ago.  My power supply
failed soon after that.  During the net my CW became more and more
chirpy as time went on.  Check your voltage, it may be the cause.
