[Elecraft] K3 no power output

[n1ix1 at aol.com]

Vic, 

The TX INH is set to off. Yes, I do get a sidetone and the first bar of the RF meter scale is also set. 
There is no power indication on my external digital wattmeter. I also had another ham less than 1 mile away listen, nothing heard.

Make sure CONFIG: TX INH is OFF. Either Hi or Lo will prevent transmi if the TX INH pin on 
the accessory socket is not connected.?
?

If you connect a paddle, do get a sidetone when you key it??
?

If you are trying to transmit SSB, are you sure the correct mic connector and bias setting 
is selected??
