[Elecraft] K3 PA IO TST Problem

[David Christ]

This is during upgrading a K3/10 to a K3/100. 
The PAIO test is done before the PA3 is 
installed.  And yes I made sure the red wire was 
on the pin with the silk screened word red behind 
it.

I haven't taken time to study the schematics yet or take voltage readings.
