[...] The issue ended up being with the LPA. Something heated up a diode that loosened the soldered connection, creating an intermittent with an associated transistor--which is why at times I would have full power and at other times no power. Usually the transistor fails entirely, so this was a bit more of a challenge--and of interest!--to the Elecraft support crew. [...] 73 Paula k9ir
Thanks for the details, Paula. My intermittent power problem returned after reseating the boards... If it occurs at low power, I will check with the Elecraft support folks to see if the likely cause and remedy could be the same as yours. Thanks again! 73 ES GOD BLESS U ES URS DE KEN N4OI -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-intermittent-low-power-issue-tp7563274p7565645.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
