[Elecraft] K3 - No Power Out

[Richard Thorne]

I was working stations on and off today.

Came back into the shack this evening and tried to work a VK on 15m and 
I had no output power.

I turned the power dial and it was at 0 watts, no problem just turn it 
up.  Normally I would progress a 1/10 of a watt at a time up to 12 watts 
then it would increase at 1 watt intervals.  This time it started at 0 
and incremented at 1 watt intervals immediately, strange.

After setting the output to 100 watts and then depressing the transmit 
button for a second it would transmit at 0 watts as displayed in the vfo 
b and vfo A would display --.

I've disconnected the external devices to the acc connection (microham 
mkII in this case along with a KAT500)  as well as the rs-232 connection 
to be sure an outside source was not controlling the rig.

I have the KPA3 installed and the rig has been back to Elecraft to have 
the gold pins installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks
