Roger,
Were you operating at home on a good power supply? Or were you on
batteries that may have become discharged below their limit? The supply
voltage may be a factor.
A properly operating KX3 will not splatter, so the problem may be on the
receiving end.
Can you borrow a receiver or transceiver from a local ham, or take your
KX3 with the dummy load to his shack since yours is portable?
If you do that, make certain you do not overload the monitoring
receiver. Place a short wire antenna on the receiving end and adjust
its distance to the dummy load so the signal is S-9 or a bit less.
If you do find a problem, email [email protected].
One thing I might suggest is to use the VFO B Alternate Displays to show
the voltage during transmit. If it drops substantially, that might be
one possible cause for that behavior.
73,
Don W3FPR

I was informed via e-mail by a fellow ham that my CW signal from my KX3
was splattering about 11k. Although this is the only report I have even
received like this, and may be an issue on the other side, it still does
concern me.
I do not have another radio where I could transmit into a dummy load and
listen.
