Bill,
I had this problem while building my K3 recently.

I spoke with the factory as it was fine when first tested.

It turned out that I had not tightened all the screws down when 
refitting the PA. Once tightened down it came back to life.  During my 
conversation I was also told to check that the screws on the regulators 
(bottom panel) are tight enough.
