Hi all, Before I contact service, I thought I might post my problem here in case it is something fairly simple.
I returned from a 2.5 week vacation a couple of weeks ago and sat down to do the firmware upgrade to my K3. I had my K3 powered off and disconnected the antenna while away but it was still connected to a serial hub, paddles, P3 etc. It powered up just fine and I have never received any type of error message. After the firmware upgrade, I went to perform the TX Gain Calibration and noticed there is no power output. No matter what power level I set, I have no output either via the Tune function or keying. In fact, hitting the ATU Tune button only displays "- -" on the front panel. I can hear the relays go through their routine, but it never displays the SWR. I searched the archives and found a few who reported similar problems, but only a couple of solutions and a few without any resolution. I've ruled out all the settings things I could find i.e Test Mode, Tnx Inh is set to off etc. I did remove the KPA3 and I/O board and inserted the bypass connector and still the same result. I do have transverter output, so it is something past that - I'm presuming in the LPA area. I really don't know if I had power output before the firmware upgrade or not as I just didn't think to try it especially without receiving any kind of error message. And I'm pretty sure everything was working before I left for Dayton. Anyway, I just thought I'd ask here first before contacting service in case it is a known problem I just didn't find on Nabble. Thanks in advance & 73, Dave W8FGU ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
