Re: "Static" on receive
I wonder if the tpm connectors on the main receiver need to be cleaned/re seated. You could also re seat the synth board.

Does it change when you use a different power supply?
I had a SAMSUNG 1235 switcher supply induce noise into the LPF through the close proximity of the power leads.

Re: K3 shows high SWR and folds back power 17M-6M into dummy load
First I found the 8mHz trap had a bad 3900uuf cap, and one toroid lead had a bad board connection. removed the two parts and jumpered their location. Not much help. Jumpered the board's input directly
