Here is the update on the No RX/NO TX problem with my K3. It was the
new KSYN3A Synthesizer as, I suspect, has died. It would not do CAL but
gave Error: E 00044 ERR VC4. It was installed the first day of
summer and died on the last day of summer!
Thanks to all who gave thoughts and advice.

I folks,
Just turned on my K3/100, SN8600 series, rig but I now have no receive
plus no transmit RF out. And, CQWW RTTY is in a few days. The K3
worked perfectly yesterday but today no RX, no TX, other than that
single (non RF) bar on RF out when keyed. It is not in Test mode, not
in Transverter mode. Just shut down yesterday, turn on today and
nothing. The Pre-Amp on/off amplifies the noise, so it looks like the
RX is working just has no antenna input. It is not antennas, coax etc
as the K2/100 sitting next to the K3 works perfectly on all
bands/antennas. Yes, I did check it directly to the same antenna as
the K2. It feels like a PIN diode problem to me. Any ideas I may have
missed.
Thanks, W1ZK
