[Elecraft] K3: ERR 12V vs current draw

[Ralph Parker]

I have come to no conclusions re my earlier posts.
The K3 quit on QSO #3 in the 160 last night, again with the 'ERR 12V'
message, neccesitating a switch to the Pro-3 (my Mk.V is out on loan). Talk
about day and night!

My 'power off' current drain had been back to 0 amps over the last couple
of weeks, but after the ERR 12V shutdown, the 'power off' current was 1.7
amps again. Something is definitely rotten in OZ (no offence to the Danes)!

At least I'll have more details for the K3 Support gang to work with.
I have not yet changed the KPA3/100 pins as they suggested.
I can't see how they would cause the mysterious current drain.
