Hello all, I need some help ! My K3 s/n 3378 has gone deaf on 80 and 20 meters,
all other bands are good. It does not have a second receiver installed. I have
confirmed the receive signal on the other bands is good with my HP 8640B signal
generator. I can get a signal thru it on 80/20 meters
y face. Jeesh !

Hi Don, I have checked it with both my Bird 43 and Daiwa CN801. Both
when on a cold
start if the K3 tracks the same.
Tnx es 73's

Jim,
How were yo
Thanks guys for the responses. I have checked the DC line as Mike K6MKF
suggested. No high resistance or abnormalities there. I think it's time to send
it to the experts and have them do a "wellness" check on this bad boy. The K3
is an awesome rig and I imagine the "S' and K4 are even better.
Fired up my K3 the last couple of mornings and noticed this. As the autotuner
was searching for a solution the power output was slowing rising. Not so
unusual right . But, after the tuner made a match the K3 was reading about 40w
of output. I went into tune mode again (key down), the antenna
a bonehead move. Sri
for using up the bandwidth. After 65 years on the air I should have known
better. Anyways, thanks guys.

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
8 matches
