[Elecraft] Sudden problem with 30m in K1

Hello all,

I'm away from home and have access to one piece of test equipment - a Fluke 87 multimeter but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on a problem.

I've been operating my K1 since arriving here last week and have had no problems on any of its 4 bands. I turned on the rig again about 2 hours ago and can't get the 30m band to work in either receive or transmit. The other bands are fine and there are no error codes displayed upon start-up.

I hear relays clicking when going from one band to another, including when going to 30m. On the 3 working bands, I hear the relays when I enable the built-in tuner but not when I'm trying to tune the antenna on 30m. In that case, I get a (Plo) low power out indication on the display.

Any ideas on what might be the most likely culprit?

Thanks and 73,
