I don't want to belabor my problem (albeit a very minor one), but had the K3/KPA500/P3 on for maybe an hour or so just tuning the band. I heard a station on 17M SSB calling CQ and I answered him. Just like a few times before, I saw only low power out (only K3 drive power to KPA500) at first. I un-keyed for a second or so and then keyed up again and full power came out of KPA500. BTW, I even went so far as doing the routine that Kent, K9ZTV had detailed first when I turned everything on.

No big deal here, but just an observation of what happens on occasion. I made another few Q's and everything was responding like expected. I am going to conclude this is an minor anomaly I can live with for now and truck on!

Going to drive down to Array Solutions tomorrow to pick up a new play toy, so I will have my hands full then!
