[Elecraft] K3 won't power up... ???

[Mike Reublin]

Todd,

Sounds like a dead short somewhere. Does the power supply lite up if you have the cord connected to it but not to the rig? If so, it's after the cord unless the power pole is shorting when you plug it into the rig.

If not, it's the cord.

Both power supplies work fine with my little FT 857D. I checked the fuse on the back of the K3 to see if it had been tripped .... but all seems to be ok. When I turn the power supply on ... it will turn on for a split second and go right back off.
