[Elecraft] New KX3 can no longer be powered on

[Bill Frantz]

I have managed to blow fuses in my battery power supply by 
shorting the unconnected 2.1mm center female power plug. On some 
of these connectors, the center female section protrudes out of 
the end of the plug. This piece of the plug is easy to short to 
ground. Elecraft recommends connecting the power plug to the KX3 
before turning on the power supply, which is good advice. If 
your power supply is always on, like my batteries, be really 
careful about shorts and carry spare fuses.

There may be a blown fuse in your power supply.
