Thanks for this, Jim. My radio is Serial # 4275. I don't know if it
had the gold-plated contacts. Will call Elecraft and ask.

Do you have the mod in that installs the gold plated contacts on the KPA
module? My sn is 14xx so I had my K3 several years before I started
experiencing the problem. It started with unexplained problems and called
Support. The fellow listened to my whole story and then told me that was
classic for the contact problem and he would send me the kit. He also told
me that he knew the problem as soon as I started with my description of the
problem. I don't think there was a charge but if so, it was insignificant.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Power Output Dropoff
Well, it happened again. My K3 is now only putting out 35 watts on 80,
30 watts on 40, 49 watts on 20, 84 on 15 and 100 on 10M, although the power
control reads 100 watts on all bands and the SWR is very low, so it is not a
question of foldback due to mismatch. Once before, when it did this,
powering the radio off and back on restored proper operation, but not now.
Any suggestions?
