[Elecraft] Help with my KX1

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

Check to see whether it is really putting out zero watts or the display 
is just saying that.
Connect a dummy load and check the RF voltage across the dummy load, or 
connect an external wattmeter to the KX1.

If it is really developing no power output, what do you have available 
to measure RF voltages?  RF Probe or an oscilloscope with a 10X probe 
would do fine - I can walk you through the measurement points.  Does it 
receive a signal on the frequency that the display indicates?

It certainly could be Q6. but it could also be Q4, Q5 or Q1 - the 
challenge is to find out which stage is failing.

73,
Don W3FPR
