what external power supply you running ? did you put a volt meter to it
while running to see if it drops voltage ?

Not sure why the body wasn't posted, so trying this message again:

I use the KX3 as a driver for transverters, and I have the power set at
around 2.5w in transverter mode; occasionally, the KX3 will suddenly
drop in output power to a couple tenths of a watt while in USB. Turning
the radio off then on clears it, but of course this is an undesirable
'bug'. Anybody else have this happen, or know of a solution? Perhaps it
is an ALC problem?

Thanks, Jim

I also drive a transverter with my KX3 running about 300 milliwatts.  No
power problems.
