[Elecraft] K3 intermittent receive issue

[Chris G7DDN]

Hi friends

I seem to have some issues with my K3 on receive.

It presents as a seemingly complete loss of either RF or IF gain - The S meter goes dead and there are no signals audible or visible on the S meter.

After a few seconds usually, everything comes back. Turning the radio off and on again nearly always cures it.

Happens on all HF bands - doesn't seem related to relays - seems to respond well to the standard "gentle tap on the top panel" (on the RH side as you look at the front panel)

It doesn't seem to be related to anything I am doing as I operate.

Any thoughts?

Regards
