Hi,
Is it possible that menu "Tune PWR" is set to 0?

I’m pressing TUNE. Mode VOX etc shouldn’t matter.

Are you in CW mode? If so, is VOX enabled?

I get the red TX led bit the display show 0w and - - where the VSWR
display would be when I press TUNE in TX NORM.

Press and hold the right side of the band-switch over "Test" and make
sure you are not in test mode.
You should see the words:
"TX TEST"
or
"TX NORMAL"
It should say "TX NORMAL".

Hi,
My K3 died today, somehow. The radio works fine on receive and appears
to transmit just there is no power indication on my external meter or
on the front panel when pressing TUNE. There is ALC indication but no
power out indication.The only thing I did different was to switch off
the supply before the radio, something I normally never do. Having
noted others having issues with that I reloaded the firmware. Still no
output. Starting to think that somehow the PA is fried or possibly the
driver as there is nothing from the 10 watt PA either. Tried turning
the power down and putting the KPA3 into bypass. Still no power output.
Not sure what else to try before I tear into it. Was going great,
worked 3B7A on 3 bands today no problem.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Martin, HS0ZED
