[Elecraft] K3 SHUTDOWN.

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

Yeah... Does it power on again?  If not, ...

I had the same thing happen about two months ago... the power on FET blew.
Not sure why that happens...  The aux 12V reversing diode was shorted too...
but I never use the aux 12V connection.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 SHUTDOWN.

This morning while playing in the RTTY 'test, I answered a CQ by sending my
call nine times (3 bursts of 3). 100W power.  The antenna is at 1.0:1 SWR.

*CLICK* and the K3 powered off. I wasn't watching it, so didn't see any
error message. Vague I know, but it's all I have. Any thoughts?
