We all do it, Jim.  At least I do.  A few years ago I spent hours trying to figure out why my new KX3 was shutting off.  Then elecraft_support suggested  it might be because I had set the timer to turn it off.  Duh!.

Thanks Grant NQ5T, when I have finished this post I will proceed to go wipe off 
the egg on my face. I had gone thru all bands to be sure I had the correct 
antenna port selected but after Grants post I figured I had better check that 
again and found it to be incorrect. All is good now. What a bonehead move. Sri 
for using up the bandwidth. After 65 years on the air I should have known 
better. Anyways, thanks guys.

Sounds like you might have inadvertently changed the antenna selection — e.g., 
ANT 2 when your antenna is on ANT 1.

Hi all, I'm new to the list. Just turned on my K3 and noticed I have no power 
out on 20 meters. I have performed all the normal trouble shooting stuff. The 
transmitter is fine on all other bands and has normal 100w output on a Bird 43 
and Bird dummy load. It makes no difference if the rig is in bypass or ATU. It 
flashes HI SWR. I also put it on one of my antennas on another band and the 
tuner performed as it should. I suspect the ATU has gone wacky but wanted to 
consult here just on the off chance I may have missed something. Any input 
would be appreciated before I take a deep dive into the tuner. Thanks in 
advance for any help.
