[K3] RE: [Elecraft] K3 power tripping out

[G4AFU Paul]

Adam,

I don't have the KDVR3 fitted.

I suspect it's because I'm running too much output power causing the K3 current sensors to trip. 

I'm going to try reducing my output power a little and see if that cures it.

I was just reading through the new KDVR3 manual and noted the following. 

"Hardware Upgrades 
The following changes have been implemented in newer K3s to avoid the 
possibility of shorts or intermittent 
operation in some K3s. All the hardware needed is supplied with your KDSP3 
kit." 

My 3 day old K3 already came with these updates. Could yours need them??
