No, not hot. But where did you find it?

The problem was with the 3.3-volr regulator module. It would get very hot and stop working after a few minutes. There are two regulator modules on the input board. A 5-volt and a 3.3-volt. They are the thick, black, edge-mounted things on the board. If you have the same problem, one of them will be very hot after a few minutes. I replaced mine with a different type and it solved the issue. The module is a Rolm BP5220A and is no longer available. I did find one in Taiwan, but I had already used a substitute. Calls to the factory were of little help. Let me know if this is helpful.

When I plug in the power, I still hear some very quiet relay click. Any quick ideas? Full disclosure: I suffered a voltage spike some time ago which took out my K3 some time ago (it is at Elecraft now); P3 still operated but the POWER switch no longer worked, i.e. it was on all the time whenever power was applied. (I am borrowing a K3 from a very, very good friend). Does anyone work on P3's besides Elecraft? Allen R.
