[Elecraft] K3 no transmit - after Elecraft shop repair

[Dale Harding K7DNH]

K3 # 2825 had a meltdown of the power transistor near the front panel - left
side. Elecraft repaired it and sent it back with several pages of tests and
calibrations they performed.

Thought all was well - set the K3 in the Pelican transport case and came to
So. Cal for family vacation and set up rig - only to discover no transmit
power.  Can hear fine - but nothing going out. Tx led lights up - power has
only a single bar that comes on. If tune is used the power scale goes to
100.

Thought I might try the power calibrations - even though the shops papers
stated they performed that - but forgot to pack a dummy load. Drove an hour
to HRO in Anaheim - but they had no dummy loads whatsoever in stock - and
they stated their "in house" one was burnt up.

Any ideas what I can try to get things going?  I am very new to ham radio so
everything needs to be spelled out fairly clearly.

At least I'm glad I brought another radio - but sure miss the better
performance of the K3.

thanks
