Ed, I had a similar issue, I too have an early serial number k3. Elecraft says my rig needs to go in for repairs, there are some old pins on boards that they say need upgrading to solve the power output issue. 73, Barry K6ST

The rig works at 10w and under, so I assume that this indicates an issue with the power amp. I checked the book for possible other issues, but came up with either bad connector seating or circuit breaker issues, neither which seem to be the case. I guess this means a trip back to the factory....hopefully turn around time isn?t too bad.... 73, Ed K6CTA -- 73, Barry K6ST https://twitter.com/barrybettman http://www.linkedin.com/in/barrybettman ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
