[Elecraft] No XMIT on 6 meters

You might want to check at various frequencies across the band, the 
problems that required some K3 to be checked for alignment involved 60m 
not 6m, if I recall correctly. The problem seems to have been a 
difference to do with slight 60m band differences between the USA and 
the UK. I am not aware of any specific 6m alignment issues, indeed my K3 
is closer to the expected power output levels on 6m than any of the 
other band, my calibrated LP-100 gives 119 Watts on 6m when the K3 is 
set for 120 Watts.
Have you tried e-mailing K3 Support?

-----------------

There has been some chatter here lately about 6 meters not working. I
thought I would try and duplicate some of the problems. Well I
couldn't. However, I did find a problem with my K3 #501 on 6 meters.

I don't have power pwr output on 6M. Perhaps I didn't check before,
or maybe I didn't run the 5 watt cal on 6M. So, I ran the cal, all
bands are fine, 5 watts, except 6M, where I get 1W and a ERR TXG msg.
I don't hear much background noise on receive, with an antenna
connected. May be a BP filter issue? The Ops manual says to hit the
service manual, not encouraging. I really don't want to ship the rig
back to Aptos, it's already been sent back once. When it was returned
to me, I was told it met all spec's now. BTW, I haven't had the
cover off the radio since it was returned.

Any ideas out there?
