There are two other things you can check.  On the K3, when pressing the “Xmit” button, 
the one above the volume control, does the red “Xmit” LED light?  It is located above the 
“Phones” jack.  If not look over on the extreme right of the display.  There is an arrow 
that indicates which VFO you are transmitting on.  Just below, or above, the arrow will be 
“TX”.  If TX is steady in it’s state you should be seeing power out and the Xmit LED should 
light.  If the “TX” is flashing, this indicates that the K3 is in “Test Mode”.  Test mode will 
inhibit Xmit and the red LED will not light.  This function is toggled pressing and holding 
the grey “Mode” button.  

If nothing here helps I suggest calling Elecraft for help.  They will treat you very well.
