[Elecraft] low output after air travel

Just back from dxpedition as HQ5A in Honduras.  My K3 may have had some
rough handling both in the airports and in bumpy roads and falling off
pickup trucks.

 

When I put my K3 back in that shack it only shows a maximum of 12 watts
output.It also has an error message "12 volt error" even though my PS is
putting out 14 volts DC.

 

Could this be a setting that needs changed, or are my finals fried.  The
radio worked well before the trip. This wasn't the only problem, this was a
very tough trip in many different ways.

 

Why does my K3 only put out 12 watts?  What can I do to troubleshoot the
problem.

 

Thanks
