[Elecraft] K3-100 #1433 Will not transmit on 40 meters LSB.

[Guy, K2AV]

Do you have power per band set in your configuration? If so you may not have
advanced the power on 40m. Simply turn the power knob on 40m and make sure
you have it set to your desired value.  

The first time I turned that option on, all of the bands defaulted to some
very low level (0.5?). It's very handy for setting amp drive levels that
vary per band so I don't need to use ALC or worry about it as I change
bands.

73, Guy.
