Have you seen the ERR 12V message? I have an older K3 and ran into a problem where my 100 watt PA wasn't working. It turns out that there is a weak point in the power delivery connector & Elecraft had a fix for it out years ago, it just took a long time for mine to fail. I contacted support and ordered a small kit to fix it, it wasn't too pricy IIRC.
