[Elecraft] K3 Burn In

[Brett Howard]

Did you get a reduction in RX sensitivity?  What happens if you try to do a
tune when set to 5.0 watts?

After 22-1/2 hours of FD operation my K3 failed also.  Power output
dropped to 1W no matter what the setting was (if above 12W).  So I guess
at least 2 failed during FD.  So mine is on its way back to Aptos as
soon as I can get an RSA number.
