OK, another update.
I tried the PA alignment procedure with the K3
momentarily? I replaced U6 and
that fixed it.

All,
Here's the latest on my K3, now that I'm back from 7QP and can put it up on
the bench and focus on this.
When the PA setting is set to normal, I can in fact hear the relay click
when I turn the power control past 12 watts. However the display keeps
indicating Hi Curr and kicks it all back
OK, another update.
I tried the PA alignment procedure with the K3 utility. The 5 watt
alignment goes fine. The 50 watt alignment fails with Hi Curr.
Removed the KPA3, checked for anything obviously loose (all looks good) and
reinstalled. Same error
Guess this will be a call to Elecraft
This sounds like the dreaded 12v error although you don't mention seeing
that specific message on the display.
This happened to several I've heard about, including mine (S/N 1153) and,
in my case, was the corroded pin problem. Elecraft sent me a kit (free of
charge) but it not only involved

Today my trusty K3 developed a strange and sudden problem -- I can't turn
the power output past 12 watts -- the KPA3 isn't clicking in! It was
working perfectly yesterday, but today not so well. Went through all the
menus, even tried resetting the radio from scratch and re-enabling the KPA3
in
Didn't someone else have this issue recently? What is your serial
number. I believe there were issues with the pins on this board.I
could be mistaken. DeOXit might be a cure.

Thanks for the speedy replies.
I should also add that the only thing I did was remove my K3 from the shack
and take it with me for use at a remote location for the 7-land QSO party
this weekend. I gently put it on the car seat and drove to the remote site
here in Arizona. When I plugged the K3
