So I connected my PR6 - 6 meter preamp to my K3 for the first time last week and work some DX. At the end of the day I go to shut the radio off and the display goes blank (hear the relays disengage) but all of the LEDs are still lit on the radio. and it will not turn back on except to cycle the power on the power supply. I discuss this with a friend and he reminds me that there was a MOD for K3's to put a diode on the KPA3 board for the 12V sense circuit, but after looking at the MOD sheet on the Elecraft website, it says that this MOD was incorporated into the radio as of 2009 (my radio less than a year old). I remove the fans to check for the 1N4148 on P68A of the KPA3 and it's not there. So two questions. Has anyone else experienced this phenomena, and does anyone know. was that diode actually incorporated into the radio on the board somewhere else and mine is just bad?
