Jamie: I assume that you are writing about a K3. If it's an "older" K3 you may have suffered a power connector failure between the K3 and the KPA3 amplifier module. A mod kit was developed by Elecraft that includes a new connector with gold plated pins.
You can download the instructions here: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KPA3%20Power%20Connector%20Replacement.pdf If this is the problem, you can have Elecraft install the mod, or you can order a kit to do it yourself. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hello: I was working the NAQP today on 10M and was doing fine and then the PA got bypassed and I got ERR 12V on the screen and to check the circuit breaker. Well the circuit breaker is not popped. Turning the radio on and off did nothing and I'm forced to run QRP - well, S&P. Changing bands also did nothing to rectify the situation. The antennas are resonant with good SWR. I checked the Config menu and the relay works when going from On to Test, and the fan seems to work although it's very quiet. Any help would be appreciated. 73, Jamie WB4YDL ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
