Hi Bill,

I have the K3 working again, currently going great stuff on 10m to give it a good workout. Problem was one of those silly ones but also one that I have just recently read about on the reflector, the case of a loose TMP coax. In my case it turned out to be J7 on the KREF3 board.

My aging K3, S/N 298, is once again proving a little troublesome. Into a nice solid 50 ohm dummy load with a strong 14 volt supply and short thick cables never known to be an issue I see a maximum of about 10 watts out when set to 110 watts on the front panel. Starting at 0w it increases in line with the setting until about 3.5 watts. The LPA stops there and then when the KPA3 comes in it goes up to about 10 watts but beyond that no further increase.

I presume this is a either a drive or and LPA issue but I suspect the actual cause might be well known here. What are the chances?
