I think you may have hit on it, Bill. Say it's a pulse-regulated
controller on the battery is on the soft side.  BTW -- most solar charge
controllers put out a lot of RF noise. The only good pulsing
controllers  I've found are the MPPT controllers made by Genasun.

Another question to help diagnose the problem if it's the battery --
what's the DC voltage at the battery in RX mode?  In TX mode?  What does
the K3 internal voltmeter read for RX and TX?
