I know this doesn't have the non-gold pin problem but I would remove and replace
the KPAIO3A and KPA just to scrub the pins and to make sure everything is seated
properly.

When I get my K4 (hopefully May . . .), I currently plan to send in my K3S for
repair. I have already talked with support.
The symptoms are:
1) In transmit mode, no power when raising the power above 11 watts. This
happens about 90% of the time. So the 100w amp is not totally gone.
2) In receive mode, sound drops considerably when raising the power above 11
watts. This is, of course, coincident with the 100w amp failing.
I haven’t found anything that causes the amp to come and go. Seems random. In
can be OK while sending and the suddenly fail.
Also, the transmit calibration fails.
Anyone have this problem? Is there a “fix” without sending in the rig?
