Phil, try unplugging and reseating the KPA3 board. I had the same trouble and it worked for me. I took off the top, one of the cooling fans and the right side panel and inspected everything carefully while I could see. You might not want to take of the right panel, as I had to remove the sub-receiver and the brace to reinstall the regulator heat sink that is behind the receiver. Removing the fans allows seeing the connectors to push from the bottom of the board, but might not always be required. It is worth a shot. The time I returned my K3 it was under warranty and the shippiing cost over $50 bucks each way.
It may not work for you, but it worked for me!

Further report since Sunday.
The power from my K3 drops from 100 to Zero in about 5/6 seconds. It does
that with any antenna/DL, any band, any power level when talking or pushing
tune at 15 watts. Going to send it back unless someone gives me a workable
suggestion to try.
Thanks
Phil
