I didn't touch the amplifier...this was the KANT3 board. That said the pressure required to remove it and reseat it could have flexed something else on the main r-f board, so who knows?
Mine has been in the Elecraft hospital for another problem and had the KPA100 replaced with a Rev C, so I think it has gold pins, but until I have to open it up again for another reason, I won't know for sure. --- On Sun, 9/19/10, WILLIS COOKE <[email protected]> wrote: Wes, I had a similar experience. I unseated the plug at the rear of the amplifier and reseated it. Apparently one or more of the contacts had corrosion. I just reseated the plug in the socket and normal operation returned. I have read posts on this reflector of K3s that required the connector to be replaced because the pins on the connector had corroded off. I think the newer units have gold plated pins to solve this problem. My K3 is number 1025.
