[Elecraft] Lost power on K1

[Harvey Dapeer]

My 4 band w/ATU K1 (SN 432) has never given me any 
problems until just now.  Set it for 5 W and confirmed the 
output by  the ATU/OUT reading and an external watt meter.  
Finished a QSO and went to lower the power level when I 
discovered that the actual power out now, again shown on 
the ATU/OUT and watt meter was only .5 (half) watt.  
Switched to ATU TUN and when attempting to retune got a 
PLO indicating that the power out was indeed very low.  Also 
I am now getting only one lit bar on the display during 
transmitt.  A blown PA transistor?  Any suggestions from the 
group will be appreciated before I tear into it to see what 
happened.
