I thought about this... but it is s/n 59XX, newer than my first K3.
Still I was wondering if it was a connector issue. BUT! Is there a
reason that I have both symptoms at the same time?

John;
Possibly this:
If it is a older K3, the contacts between the PC Board and the front
panel can lose connectivity. I have been successful cleaning with
deoxit. The materials are dis-similar, There is a gold pin
replacement to solve the problem.

Reload your firmware, hopefully you saved a copy. IF that doesn't
work, let us know!

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 audio issues
I bought a second K3 (used) after being a happy owner with the first
one for about 5 years.
The radio worked great for several weeks and I used it as a remote
while on a 3 week vacation. Now I'm seeing some problems. Hopefully it
is something that I have done wrong!
#1. When I press any button on the front panel (e.g. A/B, MODE, etc.)
there is no beep.
#2. I cannot get the radio to transmit power in SSB using a known good
mic into the front panel jack or using the line in on the rear panel.
Matching the menu settings to my first K3 does not provide joy. Using
the rear panel mic input does work.
TIA and 73,
-John NI0K
