[Elecraft] KX1 3080 Module High Current & Now No power Out

Things have been going down hill this last weekend.

Started with a bit higher current than manual stated on 80 meters (65 ma) to read about 105 ma.

Then  I noted that I could not get any power out either.

Rig was working fine with just the 20 and 40 meter module with currents and power out.

I rechecked the voltages on page 11 of the KXB 3080 manual, and note now that on 80 meters, I no longer get 5 vdc on Pad F?.  I am now suspecting some problems on the 3080 module.

I have checked numerous times for the obvious, especially those cautioned about in the errata.

Maybe I haven't troubleshot this correctly, but it seems I should be seeing 5 vdc on Pad F through Q1 on 80 meters.

Kind of floundering now and could use some bright mind input.

Thanks, Steve
