I had the same problem here. A diode on the RF board got taken out. Probably from coupling when I transmitted on my other K3. Elecraft would have sent me the diode to replace but I don't get along well doing the work,(Bad hand from stroke) The radio is back. I'm working on getting rid of and RF or coupling in the shack. It could have happen from 80/160 RF because that antenna took a beating during the hurricane, also the joins were very corroded salt the salt air environment. de K2GN/Larry

You can check by turning that knob; just make sure the LED under PWR is lit, not the one under CMP... The setting is independently adjustable from the power setting while in transmit. Also, just out of curiosity, are you feeding a dummy load or an antenna, and what does the SWR look like? 73 de Dave, W5SV On 4/24/13 7:56 AM, Bob G3PJT wrote: > Hi > > Suddenly K3/100 serial 3650 refuses to give power out. > > Setup is > - VOX is on (SSB and CW) > - not in TEST > - CONFIG TX INH is OFF > - CONFIG KXV3 is nor > - No output when TUNE > > Firmware reloaded and is 4.60, 1.15, 2.80, 2.80 > > I have reloaded my back up configuration file and it still doesn't work. > I had a similar problem a month ago on CW but that seemed to clear > itself > > Ideas? > > 73 Bob G3PJT > > _____________________________________ > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > 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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net 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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
