Sorry to hear the issues have returned for you, Ken. I know how frustrasting that can be. Rene worked on my rig. He is a really nice guy, provided great explanations and traced out my issues in fairly short order. I'll checlk my paperwork and email you with any other details that might help. 73 Paula k9ir

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.

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.
