Marian,
I think you need to contact [email protected] about this if you
have not already. Perhaps they will have some additional things you can
try.
Since you have have already tried EEINIT there is little that we can
offer in addition as K3 users.
Unfortunately, they will not be available until Monday, and will have to
wade through a lot of support email Monday - patience is a virtue. They
are running short-staffed at the moment.
73,

No, the TXTEST is not enabled and TX indicator is not flashing, The power level
is set well above zero to 5 ,10 or 12 W. I tried DATA as FSK-Direct and
PSK-Direct. With AFSK, feeding soundcard output to SSB modulator, I suppose
DATA would work.
The problem appeared first as inability to calibrate. K3 Utility commanded K3S
to RF power 5 W and radio responded with RF output power 0 W. TUNE was giving
also 0 W RF power.
Then I set 2-Tone on and in SSB mode I got RF power as set with PWR knob. After
setting MH-2 mic bias on and 2-Tone off I was able to transmit SSB to a dummy
load. After setting SSB+CW I was able to transmit CW full power (12W) to dummy
load in SSB mode.
With MODE set to CW or CW-R the RF power is still at 1 bar even with VOX on and PWR knob set well
above zero to 5, 10 W. TUNE gives two dashes ("- -") on main VFO frequency display and
"0.0 W" on VFO-B. RF power and K3 Utility is still unable to calibrate. TX_INHibit is set
to off. I can hear my Morse code on another radio, but the RF power is very low.
I am afraid some solder joint around DSP might have failed during the bumpy UPS
truck ride on old Route 66 from California to New York.
