Hi Ed, 

My K3 is about two months old. Just before NAQP CW, I left it on 
overnight, having verified that everything was working with N1MM and 
SO2R (with the MP) the night before. When I came in the shack an 
hour before start time Saturday morning, I had no RF out at all, but 
the keyer/paddle made sidetone. By the time I had finished 
troubleshooting, the keyer had stopped working. It's currently in 
line for repair in Aptos. Initial diagnosis is that the 10W power 
amp died. 

73,
