[Elecraft] KPA3 misbehaving

Thanks for the speedy replies.

I should also add that the only thing I did was remove my K3 from the shack
and take it with me for use at a remote location for the 7-land QSO party
this weekend.  I gently put it on the car seat and drove to the remote site
here in Arizona.  When I plugged the K3 in, the power output wouldn't go
above 12 watts.  It was moved around, but not roughly in any way.  I took
off the top cover and checked the voltage at the PA -- the 12v was
present.  Also, when I turned on the rig I received some strange"High
Current" and 12v alerts and then those went away.  RX is good and the rig
otherwise operates fine, but anything about 12w is a no-go.
