I too have power issues after the latest firmware upgrade. For me the power out in SSB starts low and after talking for a minute or so rises. On 40M its not too bad but 20M output is low and stays low. The RX is also affected by the ATU unit tuning. Very strange behavior. I saw the note that the guys will look at the issues this week. I think something got "scutched" up, but after all it is a beta version.

I am having the same problem as others have stated.
I started with the installation of MCU 02.82 my KXV3 stopped working  
to listen to AM radio, yes the RX Antenna was used and the KXV3 was  
set to NORM.
The power on Data fell a little but the power on SSB was near zero  
strange messages while on 40 meters flowed across the screen it went  
so fast that I was unable to even write it down to see what it said,  
numbers and letters.
I installed MCU 3.04 today the KXV3 still does not work. The SSB bands  
are working 40 meters reaches about 70 watts.
I was able to get the SSB working with MCU 02.82 by reinstalling the  
configuration that I had saved.
Any suggestions would be appreciated I am not the sharpest tack at  
making K3 work, reading your posts makes me feel very inferior.
