Re: [Elecraft] P3 Failure, and question
Do you know just what failed on the I/O board? Was it possibly due to static discharge? I tend to leave an antenna connected, except during active weather, but curious if there is something sensitive in the P3 I/O area that can fail easily from a surge, like the old RS-232 circuitry in the original K3. Thanks, -- Dave, N8SBE Quoting Howard Saxion via Elecraft : I had a similar problem with my P3 with SVGA. I had to cycle through the on-off switch a few times before it would fully power up.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Failure, and question
Hi Dave New, It does help, and thank you... Mine has come back to life as well, (power cycling it), and I am worried about turning it off now as well... I will get an RSA from Elecraft and send it in... I'll report back to the list what they find, and how long it took to get repaired. If you discover the issue, please let me know if you would!
